A Fallen Limb A limb has fallen from the family tree I keep hearing a voice that says, “Weep not for me.” Remember the good times, the laughter, the song. The family we had, for the memories will last long. Continue my heritage, I’m counting on you Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through. My smile is at ease, my soul is at rest. Remember how I was truly blessed. Continue traditions, no matter how small. Go on with your life, don’t just stare at the wall. I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin. Until the day comes, when we are together again.
