It's not the span of my life. 
It's the span of my wings. 
With the flight I will take, I will
Hear music from my heartstrings 

Choosing to be positive through my 
pain
Will most surely increase my heavenly gain

The trials here on this  earth 
develops my spiritual worth

Age makes no difference as I approach my end of time
It's not my physical body that will accompany me through eternal time

God gives  me enough wisdom, love, peace, and grace 
To travel with me through this endless time and space

Thank you, God, for being so near
As I shed a painful tear
Thank you, God. I can see my Peaceful Rest is so very near.

She loved Butterfly’s and the span of their wings
