POEM: He wanted you to stay. In tears, we saw you sinking and watched you fade away. Our hearts were almost broken, we wanted you to stay, but when we saw you sleeping so peacefully-free from pain. How could we wish you back with us to suffer that again. It broke our hearts to loose you, but we didn’t go alone. For part of us went with you – the day God took you home. So the broken hearts you left behind that loved you so sincere and will always love you and never will forget you.
