Willie James Morgan Sr. (8 Page w/ Gate)

A limb has fallen from the family tree.

I keep hearing a voice that whispers, “Grieve not for me.”

Remember the best times, the laughter, the song.

The good life I lived while I was strong. st Continue my heritage, I’m counting on you.

Keep on smiling, the sun will shine through.

My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest.

Remembering all, how I truly was blessed.

Continue traditions, no matter how small.

Go on with your life, don’t worry about falls.

I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin.

Un the day comes, Until we’re together again.

Willie MR.
