It was a beautiful day
About a beautiful woman
Who had four beautiful children
Of those four beautiful children that she loved, three remain
And of those three beautiful children,
she came to love five beautiful grandchildren
And of those five beautiful grandchildren,
she came to love seventeen beautiful great-grandchildren
And of those seventeen great-grandchildren,
was this young boy
who looked upon her grave
with the utmost amount of stillness and sincerity
And it too, was beautiful
Mostly because it was the only time he stood still
for the entire weekend.
for the entire weekend.
But you know what I'm sayin...
Our family had a going away party.
It lasted two days
There were balloons, flowers, and even cake.
There was music
There were heartwarming gifts, and stories about old times.
There were plenty of kids
and everyone went home with a smile in their heart and a tear on their cheek
And it really was... beautiful
