Barbara Davis

And God shall wipe away all tears from our eyes, and there shall be no more sorrow.

In tears we saw you sinking, and watched you fade away Our hearts were almost broken, we wanted you to stay But when we saw you sinking, so peacefully free from pain How could we wish you back with us, to suffer that again; It breaks our hearts to lose you, but you do not go alone For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
