You Loved me, played with me Read to me too. You've laughed with me Cried with me -- Even made apple pies with me. Then when I left to be a mother myself, You cradled my children In your loving arms Kissed bruises, rode bikes, Sang of Barney Googles charms. No one ever gave so much love To receive so little in return. I want you to know, before I Sing your praises in Heaven that This old Earth wouldn't be the same Without you and when I run away to Heaven, I'm going to ask God if I can sit down beside Aunt Eleanore. Love, Shirley
