It's OK
It's ok if you cry,
it's ok to say goodbye.
It's ok to be sad,
it's ok to feel bad.
But when my soul is gone,
it's time to move on.
When my body goes back to the sand,
believe Gods got my hand.
Once my body turns cold,
I'll be walking the streets of gold.
It's ok to never forget,
but please don't have any regrets.
When my soul has it's freedom,
I'll finally be in Gods Kingdom.
Live your lives without sin,
and I promise we'll be together again.
As my soul is set free,
believe in God, and someday you'll see me.
We love you all, Audie, Karnell,& JR.
