Our Fallen Brother

As I held him close, I began to cry
Wondering and hoping our friend would never die
I could see the whites of his eyes, as he held me tight
The wind whisped through his hair, as we saw the light
He cried no more as we fell to the ground
His one single tear, would never be found
Cry not my friend God will take you home
The Angels in Heaven will not be alone
Your safe and well as a child to his mother
You will always be remembered as
OUR FALLEN BROTHER

Robert Lightfoot

You will never be forgotten!

      
Go With God
You Are Loved And Missed
