I felt the answer in my heart Although He spoke not a word. I didnt ask for wealth or fame I knew you wouldnt mind. I asked for priceless treasures rare Of a more lasting kind. I prayed that Hed be near you At the start of each new day To grant you health and blessings fair, And friends to share your way. I asked for happiness for you In all things great and small But that youd know His loving care I prayed for most of all. MacKenzie Funeral Home Stonewall in care of arrangements.
