I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.

Psalm 121: 1, & 2 KJV

Tis so hard to give you up

And yet somehow we know

That you are in a happier place

Away from pain and woes

Our hearts still ache with sadness

Our eyes shed so many tears

God only knows how we will miss you

Through the coming years
