Our Mary Lou

Our Mary Lou

Her smile was always warm and true
her outlook always bright
yes, that was her, our Mary Lou
our star, our heaven’s light

She made us feel so loved each day
her kind heart touched us all
and even though she wanted to stay
she had to answer God’s call

She would have fed the world it seemed
one big meal at a time
and you know our sweet Mary Lou
would give you her last dime

So don’t say goodbye today
just smile as you walk by
for she is with us in every way
looking down from that mountain high
