No farewell words were spoken,
no time to say goodbye, you were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why.

To let us have the very best?
If we have forgotten to show our
Gratitude enough for all the things you did,

To bring back a smile, to banish a tear?
Not what did the sketch in the newspaper say,
But how many were sorry when he died.
Good men must die, but death cannot kill their Names or Visions.
