Rest In Peace

Swiftly the wind blew We thought it'd be but a few But it left something so new It was a sad and unpalatable news Just when we were asking We thought you'd still be breathing We are left with our jaws hanging When we were told what was happening Our hearts are broken From us all you've bn stolen A good friend now to be frozen One of our finest has bn stolen We prayed and were waiting It came and we were wailing Same you that we were hailing Now watched your breath as it was faiding. Father receive this soul For we loved him so whole We thought together we'd grow old Now your departure has dug a hole Who will take your role Arranging the files in roll We lean and wail leaning on the pole As our hearts are caged in cold. Rest in peace my friend Rest in peace till the end On our knees we bend And to the wind we send Let our colleague get to the end Never leave him till he's laid On the bosom of his creator Where he finds his everlasting rest. I'll miss you my dearest brother Till we meet again Rest, rest and rest my brother.
