farewell M y Children
Farewell my dear ones, don't weep
For I'm at peace now, just asleep.
Farewell my children, I'm not alone
The Almighty Maker has led me safely home.
Be strong, my loved ones, always have one another;
Be a thoughtful sister, be a kind brother,
Be strong, my loved ones, be strong at heart
The blood ties, no one can ever part.
And if somewhere I made a mistake
As you live there are many you will make,
Farewell everyone, Ive been called away.
Continue to walk with God, trust him everyday.
So now, lo, my bells have rung.
But you should not worry
Because a new day has begun
