Perhaps you sent a lovely card,or sat quietly in a chair.

Perhaps you sent a funeral spray,if so, we saw it there.

Perhaps you spoke the kindestwords,

As any friend could say,Perhaps you were not there at all,

Just thought of us that day.Whatever you did to console

our hearts,We thank you so very much,

Whatever the part.
