The day you laid me down to sleep
you prayed to the Lord; my soul to keep
I know you had to send me on my way
but you sent me to a new; better; and much brighter day
You sent me home; to heaven above
where I'm cradled in God's arms; covered with His love
I understand what you did; you did out of love
and I'll return that love; from my new home above
My sickness is gone; and I'm free here to roam
I run and play in the meadows; here in my new home
We play here by the Bridge; from morning to night
there is no rain here; just warm sunlight
I know you all miss me; I miss you all too
but I'll always be with you; whatever you do
Please wipe the tears; from your weeping eyes
by remembering the good times; from days gone by
When you look out; into the dark of night
I'll be that bright star; your guiding light
We'll meet again at the Bridge one day
when we'll walk in the light; together to stay
"Love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation."
Goodbye
by John Quealy
With heavy hearts; and a tear in our eyes, I'm sitting right here; gently rub your ears, One last hug; and one last kiss, Close your eyes now; and go to sleep, Dream of that special day and time, Your memory will live on; in each one of us, So with heavy hearts; and tears in our eyes,
after all these years; we must say goodbye.
Please understand; we've done all we could,
if there was anything we could do; you know we would.
while I talk to you softly; trying to hold back the tears.
The memories you gave us; we'll never forget,
especially the ones; of the day we all met.
you have no idea;how much you'll be missed.
To look into your eyes; this one last time,
you tell me it's ok; you know it's your time.
we'll pray to the Lord; you're soul he'll keep.
Go in peace now; our good friend,
we'll stay right here with you; until the end.
when we'll meet at the Bridge; and all will be fine.
We'll run and play; side by side,
with a soft warm feeling; deep down inside.
you'll always be number 1; to all of us.
Have a safe journey; through the night,
I promise when you awake; you'll be in God's light.
just for now my friend; We Say Goodbye.
