Granny Myrle

Every Sunday you sat in the very same pew

With a spirit of peace always shining from you

You sang favorite hymns with a beautiful sound

A true people person to all those around

You loved all the cats and the birds in the air

Granny Myrle, you were filled with such kindness and care

When a red cardinal rests on the tree

I know you are there watching over me

I see your own qualities growing in mine

And it brings me a happiness, sweet and divine

Though I was so young when we had to part

Granny Myrle, your hymn is alive in my heart

I open your Bible and look at the pages

To find the sweet peace that outlasts all the ages

I read through the journals you wrote in your hand

And see the deep faith that allowed you to stand

You always knew just the right words you should say

Encouraging me as I walk through today

When a red cardinal rests on the tree

I know you are there watching over me

I see your own qualities growing in mine

And it brings me a happiness, sweet and divine

Though I was so young when we had to part

Granny Myrle, your hymn is alive in my heart

I wish you could know the deep impact you made

A beautiful legacy that will not fade

I long for one more conversation with you

To thank you for all of the love that I knew

You'll always be one of my favorites on earth

I'll cherish your memory, your joy, and your worth

When a red cardinal rests on the tree

I know you are there watching over me

I see your own qualities growing in mine

And it brings me a happiness, sweet and divine

Though I was so young when we had to part

Granny Myrle, your hymn is alive in my heart
