Lorie

Though your life wasn't easy on this Earth
You took your lot with a smile upon birth
Though your ears couldn't hear well, and your mind couldn't always understand,
You always gave your best to give a helping hand
You preferred the name Lorie, but to us, you were Laurie
I'd love to come over and listen to your life story
You were my aunt, and you showed me your love
And now I know you're watching from above
Though we all miss you and wish you were here
I know you are happy and have no fear
Let everyone know that I am okay
And that I will see them again some day
