It's time to celebrate a life
That's spanned a lot of years
Full of love and family
Good times, laughs and tears
Some sadness came throughout the years
Loved ones now have gone
Farming troubles, droughts and floods
And always she marched on
Her family she loves the best
They're what her spirit needs
So she can give all back again
Nurturing life and we're the seeds
She never fails to find a smile
For every passing soul
Wife, mother, Christian, friend
Confident in her roles
Visitors she greets with charm
Fresh milk and treats she bakes
The kindest words she always has
All our lives she's shaped
Up at dawn to milk the cows
Fed chickens in their pens
Got the children off to school
Each day to do again
Faced down angry cows
Drove tractors with the best
Smelling of sunshine, wind and hay
Her life is truly blessed
Weekend card games, family, friends
Winter nights warm and cozy
Short of stature, tall in charm
That's our Rosie
