Beautiful Bernice

                           love filled mother

Beautiful Bernice

                          adoring grandmother

Beautiful Bernice

                          treasured friend



Beautiful Hands

                         tickle the ivory

Beautiful Hands

                         caress my face

Beautiful Hands

                         pray for me



Beautiful Face

                      smile for me

Beautiful Face

                     countenance of joy

Beautiful Face

                      let me take your picture




Beautiful Voice

                      sing to me

Beautiful Voice

                      calm my fears

Beautiful Voice

                     whisper hope



Beautiful Heart

                        i miss you so much

Beautiful Heart

                        i remember

Beautiful Heart

                       your love remains
