Felipe A. Perlaza

Our hearts were crushed and sore;

We did our best to the end,

'Til we could not do no more.

In tears we watched you sinking,

We watched you fade away;

And though our

hearts were breaking,

We knew you could not stay.

You left behind some aching hearts-

That loved you most sincere;

We never shall and never will

Forget you Father dear.
