I loved you from the very start
You were a gift from up above
You loved with all of your heart.
You always helped people
Your passion for God and people--overwhelming
Thus, you blessed the steeple
Though we had our share of problems
I knew deep down you would always care
And I thought you’d always be there.
I’m sorry I wasn’t always kind to you
And thought things about you that weren’t always true
I’m sorry I sometimes took you for granted
And now I hurt inside
It’s like a part of me has already died.
As sadness overcomes my soul.
Because you will be gone
Just like that--out of my life
To you I will have to say “so long”
But I will never ever forget you
Or how to us you were so true
Or all the good that you do.
