| In Memory of Nanny | |
| I met a loving person one day | |
| who touched my life in a special way | |
| Quietly I sat and listened to her | |
| Residing in her I know was our Savior. | |
| Serenely she watched each and everyone there. | |
| Showing everyone how much she cared. | |
| Silently I rested my head on her shoulder | |
| and just enjoyed the beauty of one who was older | |
| Now there is an empty place inside | |
| where loving memories of her reside. |

|
| Memory of a Friend | |
| I came to you when you were alone | |
| and sang to you of one on His throne. | |
| Your face lit up with a smile | |
| making me want to stay a long, long while. | |
| Soon I heard your small, soft voice | |
| and together in our God we rejoiced. | |
| Your tired face perked up | |
| as our songs lifted your spirits up. | |
| No one noticed the gray in your hair | |
| as together we shared the love of God who cares. | |
| Age-wise, we’re years apart | |
| but we share the same love in our hearts. | |
| You offered me words of wisdom | |
| In your face I saw God’s kingdom. | |
| Gently you hugged me goodbye; | |
| it was so hard not to cry. | |
| Your hand slipped slowly away | |
| as you left me that noon day. | |
| You had years of hurt and worry | |
| as you struggled to give God glory. | |
| Yet you always said, “Remember the good times not the bad; | |
| try to be happy instead of sad.” | |
| My heart feels as if it may break | |
| but, I must be happy for your sake. | |
| I’ll try to be glad | |
| as the Comforter walks with me hand-in-hand. | |
| I know one day we’ll meet again | |
| In that most glorious place…heaven. | |
| Till then I’ll miss you | |
| dear friend whom I knew. |
