Sleep peacefully now you've earned it
The pain is mine... and I cherish it
It wouldn't be there if it weren't for
Each and every wonderful moment


Breathing quietly now
With the slightest of frowns
Your family around
Do you know we're so proud?


Quieter still
I'll hold your hand
Calm, no fear
As you leave this land


A life well lived
A life so enriched
A life full of love
Deserves an end like this


The memories are mine and I'll cherish them
Your kindness your love and your beauty
I heard you, I felt you, I saw you
And for that I'll never be lonely


The sadness is a mask
It's temporary, what will last
Is the smile, something that
You gave me

Beautiful man. Just beautiful.
