Through the Tears
Farewell, my love, farewell
Your work here on earth is done
You were sent to give us joy and comfort
Each day you gave us a smile,
Each day we loved you more
You changed us in so many ways
Our hearts never knew such happiness!
Our pride in you showed through
No one could doubt that you were our boy
Now, the angels have come to take you away
Our hearts are breaking, the tears wont stop
Promise us that well meet again
And you will come to lead us to your new home across the bridge
To a home where no one knows unhappiness or pain
A place where we will never have to say good-bye again
We love you, smiling boy
