elevated 2IJSs A golden heart stopped beating,

elevated 2IJSs Hard working hands at rest,

elevated 2IJSs It broke our hearts to see you go,

elevated 2IJSs God only takes the best.

elevated 2IJSs They say that memories are golden,

elevated 2IJSs Well maybe that is true,

elevated 2IJSs But we never wanted memories,

elevated 2IJSs We only wanted you,

elevated 2IJSs Your life was love and labour,

elevated 2IJSs Your love for your family true,

elevated 2IJSs You did your best for all of us,

elevated 2IJSs We will always remember you.

elevated 2IJSs We sat beside your bedside,

elevated 2IJSs Our hearts were crushed and sore,

elevated 2IJSs We did our duty to the end,

elevated 2IJSs ‘Til we could do no more.

elevated 2IJSs In tears we watched you sinking,

elevated 2IJSs We watched you fade away,

elevated 2IJSs And though our hearts were breaking,

elevated 2IJSs We know you could not stay.

elevated 2IJSs Our lips cannot speak how we love you,

elevated 2IJSs Our hearts cannot tell what to say,

elevated 2IJSs But God only knows how we miss you,

elevated 2IJSs In our heart you will always stay.
