The heavens wept when you
were born
On that beautiful, sacred
morn.
You made your family tree
complete
You were your parent’s
special treat.
Your smile was a gift from
God above
A symbol of His perfect
love.
Pure love you gave to all
mankind
To help them, their God to
find.
Unwavering faith you did
possess
Which saved you from a world
of stress.
Ancestors who have gone
before
Knew greatness for you, was
in store.
Your wisdom had no limits
here
For you understood and had
no fear.
Humble as the day is long
That made you firm and godly
strong.
Trials are as a mountain
high
Taking us up to touch the
sky.
You understood the test of
life
Would at times be full of
strife.
You passed your test with no
regret
You left your mark on all
you met.
Tears on both sides of the
veil did fall
As you moved on to a greater
call.
Nana, we all look forward to
the day
When with your family you
will stay.
In the presence of our
precious God
In majesty and glory shod.
