Bad Week Absent Friends

The Corps has lost many this year Many of us have have shed a tear Some from illness and mental health Wish the grim reaper would lose his stealth He sneaked up on these good men To heaven he has taken them For they were good people this is true Please don't let the next be you He's a crafty reaper this one Taking people who should live on In this last week he's taken three This certainly should not be From Tony to Dave and then PJ I wish he would just go away I know it's fact people die It doesn't help us left to cry These were members of The Royal Corps Who had survived many a war Communications was there game The Signals Family won't be the same To the family's of these good men My heart and condolences I do send It will not help you in your grief But remember faith and belief So my brothers and sisters raise a glass To absent friends who's lives did pass I know people have to go Rest in peace CERTA CITO
