Where there was Myrtle
There was laughter and mirth
Now our hearts ache with sadness
As this season of her birth
Comes around once again
For no joy can we find
As we question the departing
Of a loved one so kind.
She must have been needed
In a better place than this
Our eyes stream with tears
As we blow her a kiss
And remember her loyalty,
Her wisdom and good sense
We celebrate her life
But that is no recompense!
Because the loss we are feeling
Is too great to express
And proves once again
That God only takes the best
She was a piece of our jig-saw
A vital part in the plan
That made us tick as a family
‘We’ll sure miss you man!’
And as dawn rises up
Once again on Josey Hill
It’ll be a sadder place without her
But life goes on still
So let us rejoice – together in one voice
As we thank God in Heaven
For our own – Myrtle Boyce
