Farewell My Dear Ones
Farewell my dear ones, dont weep
For Im at peace now, Im just asleep.
Farewell my dear wife, children, family and friends.
Im not alone,
The might maker has led me safely home.
How I have always tried to be strong
Yet God somehow always made a way
And I thanked Him every night fpr another day.
Be strong my dear wife, stay nigh to the God
He will show you the path you must trod.
Be good my children, always love each other.
Be a thoughtful sister, a kind brother.
Be strong family, strong in the heart
The blood ties, no one can ever part.
And if somewhere Ive made a mistake.
As you live, many you will make.
Farewell my dear love ones. Ive been called away
Walk with God, trust in Him each and every day.
