SA/Qaluz,
1 he house without you seems empty and bare, The smell of your fragrance no longer fills the air.
Your face, your smile the touch of your skin, The forthcoming plans you'd aimed to begin.
I he years of your life were not in vain, As your time with us precious memories will always remain.
W e know our hearts will never mend, W e'll ache and weep until our lives end.
Love you always,

You wonder why I went away, And didn't say goodbye^ I couldn't bear to tell you, For it hurt me when you cry.
My ship came in Thursday morning, And it was beautiful 10 see, For the captain was KingJesus And He softly beckoned me.
I ran across die leeway, And fell down at his feet, He gendy took me in His arms, And ilow my itdst is complete.
