Ode To Jimmy James

Goodbye Jimmy James we love you, as we turn to watch you go may our God look down above you and protect you for you know, we depend upon your caring through the darksome nights alone, all the weight that you are sharing through no failings of your own. you have gathered up the burdens {though you've never said they were,} when she passed through death's dark curtains you have paid the debts for her. Sacrificed your dreams of wonder , left your lambs out on the hill, other sheppards they are under, yet you take that bitter pill. without word or deed of sorrow nor regret do you convey though you're leaving here tomorrow, you are in our hearts to stay.
