“In tears we saw you sinking,
and watched you fade away,
Our hearts were almost broken
because we wanted you to stay.
But when we saw you sleeping
so peaceful from the pain,
how could we wish you back with us,
to suffer through that again.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
but you did not go alone,
for part of us went with you,
the day God took you home.”
