Tribute to James Nathaniel Ginn Jr
I have no long farewell embraces to give, There was no time to even say goodbye, For in a split second you were gone before I/we knew it. And no matter how hard any of us may try, Our tears cannot build a stairway, Neither can our memories create a lane, That can reach up to Heaven, To bring you home once again. So, I/we go on greeting each day with a beautiful sunrise, Each spring bringing forth flowers anew, I thank God for His blessings, Of all the precious days HE allowed me/us with you. You are truly at peace and rest, Lil James You're now an angel in Heaven living out your best.
Love your aunt Margaret & cousin Evette
