For Rod
It’s sad that you had to go
Why now, only God know
Family and Friends will weep
But your loving memories, we’ll keep
Yes we’ll hurt and we’ll cry
As we sit and wonder why;
Your life had to end at twenty seven
And we’re hoping your home is Heaven
Moving on won’t be easy at all
But we know we must stand tall
We have to be strong for each other
And someone has to be strong for Mother
We won’t ask God, Why
Because he knows best
We won’t ask God, Why
But we’ll hope you have sweet rest
So Goodbye, Brother, Cousin, for now
We hope this isn’t the end
We’ll miss you Daddy, Son, Our Friend
And hopefully one day, we’ll meet again.
