I heard a story from a friend today,
A friend of his lost his wife yesterday.
He felt so bad and wanted to cry,
I think I know the reason why.
December is the holiday season,
When someone dies, we wonder the reason.
For this is the season of hope and cheer,
That starts us off for the next year.
Attending a funeral in December,
Is one that we will always remember.
And when next December arrives,
We’ll say this is when Mrs. Smith died.
