other threads added
in the legacy behind them
though another string is broken
the strand is still growing
other branches in the vine
many strings remaining
in the cord of their making
a family united, marching,
in the service of the Lord
another string broken
a mortal life ended
but moving on to Glory
as the good Lord intended
another string giving way
now far fewer remaining
but the cord still strong, united
other threads added
joining their journey
marching in Jesus’ name
in the service of the Lord
