Once a baby
Tender locks of hair
What a blessed parent
To have embraced you there
A little child
Hair twirling through air
What a blessed mommy
To have this day to share
Young lady now
Hair rollers of blue
What a blessed sister
To have these years with you
Hair twirling through air
What a blessed mommy
To have this day to share
Young lady now
Hair rollers of blue
What a blessed sister
To have these years with you
Time has passed
The hair is gray
What a blessed daughter
To have had you today
The hair is gray
What a blessed daughter
To have had you today
Peace has come
Others comb your hair
What a blessed family
The loss is hard to bear
Others comb your hair
What a blessed family
The loss is hard to bear

My beloved grandmother’s tea set from childhood.
 The loss is hard to bear.  We often forget: we were all that little child. |
