For Marilyn Cook January 12,2011 Poem by Pleasant Dabbs

Nelson had goods, had a home, he had money and property
Marilyn was good, her face shone, it was sunny and so pretty
Nels was a businessman with his earnings invested
Mar'lyn, a busy woman with her virtues well tested

Nelson was good, he was giving, and he blessed many lives
Mar'lyn was good, was forgiving, and her light never dies
The man's sweat and toil blessed their lives monetarily
But Marilyn was loyal, now she's gone temporarily

Nelson got sick and he died, left a will, you see
Marilyn got sick and she died, left a legacy
Nels' lands got divided and his money ran out
Marilyn loved, did not hide it and she cared…there's no doubt!

This last part's for Marilyn as her memory stays
Her road was a-narrowing, and she left, went her way
But a life of example, filled with love, service, charity
Is not one we should trample, rather one we should try to be

We will miss her soft sweetness, and her kindness, her loving way
Not to mention her meekness, and the thoughts of her yesterday
For her hub and her children, it'll hurt, that for sure, I know
But for her, don't feel sorry, she's gone where we all want to go.


A good friend who died… this for her funeral… caaron
