Mausoleum
Dead end Cemetary plots
Loved ones hold near
Treasuries of memories
Of that person sweetly and dear
I cannot let go of him so near
He was a special gent
Always said
"How Do You Do?"
no matter where he went
Sleeping silently,my friend
In this Mausoleum White
Photographs and articles about
It still brings upon me,
a little weep of tear
Again..it is clear
I cannot let go of him so near
The congragation sang his hymn
And Teachers,dedicated to him..
His own statue and a newly refurbished gym
Never A person to shy away friends
His philosophy stated:
OUR SPIRIT NEVER TRULY ENDS
It is pouring rain today
We bury him in Red,White,and Blue
Because He would have wanted it that way
Our family is saying a Goodbye to him in Here
It is easy to refrain in darkest serenity Plain
We cannot let go of him for he is still near
Mothers
Fathers
Distant relatives I see
Reflect on this Simple but gentle soul
Lying in State that I view before me
Our loss at such a cost is not a trivial matter
When a person as young as he was free
Has left for a better Haven
All we can do is let him climb up
Upon the limb of Calvary's lone Tree
Say these last words and close the Mausoleum Gate
WE SHALL BE AGAIN
IN HEAVEN'S LIFETIME..ETERNITY CAN SURELY WAIT!
