aligncenterA Tribute To Our Father

aligncenterThe day God called you home,

aligncenterIn tears we saw you sinking

aligncenterAnd watched you fade away.

aligncenterOur hearts were broken,

aligncenterWe wanted you to stay.

aligncenterBut when we saw you sleeping

aligncenterSo peaceful from pain, we were at ease.

aligncenterIt broke our hearts to lose you,

aligncenterBut you did not go alone,

aligncenterFor part of us went with you,

aligncenterThe day God took you home.
