Guided by her faith and love for her family, Judy’s words in the following poem reflect her gratitude for God’s blessings and the deep joy she found in her children.

I’ve Had It All

Children, don’t you cry.

don’t ever cry for me.

Everything, I ever dreamed

God has let it be.

You know I still remember,

How much I wanted you.

Each of you, my darlings

and it has all come true

I wanted love, so badly

I searched, for many years,

but I looked in dark places,

and through to many tears.

I finally learned something,

if you want, you have to give

and my precious children,

At last I began to live

Now my blessings, far outnumber

Any pain I’ll ever have

No matter, what I have to face

I never can be sad.

When Jesus comes, to take me home

When I hear the final call

Don’t cry for me, my loved ones

because, I’ve had it all.
