FAREWELL MY WIFE AND CHILDREN

Farewell my dear ones, don't weep

For I'm at peace now, just asleep

'

*;.

Farewell my wife, I'm not alone

The Mighty "Maker" has led me safely home,

*

Just think back over the many years,

.

How "mama" seemed so strong holding back tears.

Yet God somehow always made a way.

And I thanked him every night for another day

Be good my children always love each other

Be a thoughtful sister, a kind brother

,. ;

Be strong my children, strong in heart. .

The blood ties, no one can ever part.

A nd if some where I made a mistake

As you live many will you make.

Farewell my children, I've been called away,

Walk with God, Trust in God.

Submitted,

Wife and Children
