Reminiscence

For Love of Family 
For the love of our dearest family; 
We rose early from slumber each day. 
With a happy smile and thanksgiving, 
We were blessed in this gracious way. 
For the love of our dearest family; 
Over many long days and years, 
We’ve shared the sweetest of their dreams, 
And dried their sorrowful tears. 
For the love of our dear family; 
I labored hard to give them life. 
Sitting, rocking, gently weeping, 
Through nights and days of endless strife. 
For the love of our dearest family; 
They left us way too soon. 
How much we miss their spirits joy, 
Yet, we watch the same great glorious moon.
