She’s gone to join cousins, Desmon and Shanika, who also left us suddenly.You went without a word, not a chance to say good-bye,Our hearts were broken; we were so surprised;But when we saw you sleeping, so peaceful, worry free,How could we wish you back with us to this world’s pains?It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone,For a part of us went with you the day God called you home.
