The Rhythm of the Rhyme

Author unknown, adapted for Lettie

Lettie has a list of the folks she knows, all written in a book

She would often go and take a loving look.

Today we appreciate that these names are apart

Not of the book they’re written in but of her very heart.

For each name stands for someone who has crossed her path sometime

And in that meeting, they’ve become the Rhythm of her Rhyme.

She is composed of each remembered name

And her life displayed this claim to fame.

For she, and we, are but a total of the many folks we’ve met

And you happen to be one of those we prefer not to forget.

And whether we have known you, for many days or few

In some way, you had a part in shaping us anew.

And so, we celebrate her life today with Lettie’s point of view

One of the finest gifts that life can give is the precious presence of you.
