Great Aunt Iris

Great Aunt Iris, Aunt Iris,

A flower your name.

Now the time come to be free not be tame.

May you be at God’s right

When you enter those gates;

May your soul shine ‘er brightly

As it did through the dates

That passed ever so quickly;

That fled with such haste.

 

Iris, dear Iris, a lush flower you be,

And forever be remembered as loving

And free.

For the times that we knew you and loved you

I say,

Iris, dear Iris, peace to thy name.

Rest in peace dearest flower…

Peace to this day.
