In tears we saw you shrinking A n d watched you fade away. O ur hearts were almost broken
W e wanted you to stay. B u t when we saw you sleeping,
So peacefully, free from pain, H o w could we wish you back with us
T o suffer again. I t broke our hearts to lose you,
B u t you did not go alone, For a part o f us went with you T he day G od called you home.
