For someone who meant so much

And loved by all he knew, who left

Behind a trail of tears and precious

Memories, too.

We loved the sunshine in his smile

And kindness in his heart but

Heaven saw that he was tired

Which meant we had to part.

And now that we say goodbye

Dear angels, hear our prayer

Please guard him with

Your gentle wings and tend him

With great care.

For he was someone wonderful

And words just can’t convey

How much we wish that he

Was here once more, with us today.

We only part to meet again.

May you Rest in Peace.
