In tears we saw you sinking,
We watched you fade away
You faced your task with courage,
Your spirit did not bend.
And still you kept on fighting
Until the very end.
God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be,
So He put His arms around you
And whispered "Com e to Me"
So when we saw you sleeping,
So peaceful and free from pain.
We could not wish you back
To suffer that again.
Always remembered and forever missed
By your family and friends.
