The Final Good-Bye (MystresMyna)

The Final Good-Bye - (Myna) 

Loren sang 'Amazing Grace',

As the morning sun rose;

Peace fell upon the countryside,

And the river softly flows.

The men carried the casket up,

And placed it beside the grave.

Aunt Sue stood solemn,

Softly weeping yet brave...

----- Myna -----

Time's movin' slow,

As if a snail;

My Uncle Bubba,

Has passed beyond the veil.

Aunt Sue seems numb,

Her only love, now gone.

We will lay him to rest,

This morning at dawn.

He loved to fish at sunrise,

With the water calm and still.

We'll put it in the dirt,

Overlookin' the river on the hill.

3 Gun got with Unger,

And ordered a mighty fine box.

We laid him with his favorite cane pole,

And his wicker tackle box.

Lorne is at my side,

I'm grateful for his shoulder to lean on.

Pastor Stein is speaking some lovely words...

It's hard to accept that he's gone!

I have my memories,

To keep Uncle Bubba alive;
