The
Joy Heaven Felt
In
Loving Memory of Gram Lorraine
There was much ado with good reason
'Cause entrance to heaven was in season
The trees seemed taller than the day before
The sands shone their brightest, on the seashore
The roses had never smelled so fine
The grapes of the earth made the finest wine
The streams pranced merrily like dancers on stage
The air filled with the scent
of thyme and sage
The waves roared louder than an angry lion
The stars held fast, like the belt of Orion
The mountains were as proud as a father to be
The sky was clear
far as the eye could see
The water was as blue as a baby's eyes
And from the ground
flowers did arise
The colors were richer than the wealthiest man
The most peaceful day since time began
Laughing children rang the chimes of the heart
And all of nature was a grand work of art
These things all were, and there'll be no rival
To the joy heaven felt at your pending arrival
Forever in our hearts, Dearest Gram Lorraine
Long after the wind, swept away your pain
