Softly in the morning,
You heard a gentle call,
You took the hand
God offered you,
And quietly left us all.

The day you left us,
Our hearts just broke in two,
The smallest part is still with us,
And the biggest part with you.

For the rest of our lives
We will miss you,
Our secret tears still flow,
Oh, how we really love you,
No one will ever know.

We miss your smile,
your gentle ways,
We miss the things
you used to say.
And when old times
we do recall
It's then we miss you
most of all.

You were always there
when we needed you
No task too great or small,
With loving heart
and willing hands,
For us you did it all.

Look around your garden Lord,
And when she turns and smiles,
Put your arms around her,
And hold her for awhile.
