Final Goodbyes

The choir of angels sing
we all gather for goodbye
when the knell rings
heaven slowly cries
your chariot awaits
as does the resting place
through the graveyard gates
the Undertaker's placid face
carefully Earth is dug
the casket lowered down
loved ones kiss and hug
Amazing Grace is sound
your spirit rises above
tell S. Peter when you're there
we will care on and love
and please save me a squishy chair.
