Into Your Hands...
Neither angel nor devil
But a wee bit of both
We bring your daughter
Grandma, Mom, Mrs. C, Ellie, Eleanor
Back home in her present form

Guide her, watch over her
Bring her peace
From a lifetime of serving others
Free from all pain
Show her your love
Let her spirit join
Glowing in the eternal mirror of life
One universal light
Her lighther lifeshines on
Reflected in each one of us here
Her undaunted spirit lingers
And lives.
Give em hell, mom
And make sure that everyone
Does everything right.
