When I was told the news about you
I thought it could not be true
A huge pain of loss struck my heart
knowing that we are now worlds apart
As we say goodbye to you today
we all have tear in our eyes
Even though you made it clear
you would not want us to cry
This may be the end of your long life
go an reunite with your darling wife
she has been waiting a while for you to arrive
at the place you deny - the afterlife
You will be in our hearts forever
along with the memories that we shared together
The head of the family has now gone
but even though you'll deny it
your spirit lives on.
