Suddenly

Taken from us suddenly

We did not know what to say

Your life was one of joy and sorrow

As different as night is to day



The pain that we felt

Is one that only we will ever know

Our emotions were in turmoil

They all did show



As you faded from this life

We stood by your side

Your life was one we celebrated

We knew that you would soon be gone



Now you are gone from the world

But your memory will live on

You are someone we will always remember

May you rest in peace
