Your life with us, has now come to an end
And under the sadness, our hearts now bend
As tears from our eyes like rivers flow
Today our heart are filled with great sorrow
The memories we made, in our thoughts remain
And our lives will never, be the same again
With a sweet kind spirit you were blessed
And that beautiful smile, will truly be missed
Forever our friendship, I will cherish
Now with God may you Rest In Peace
My friend James Farless
