There is a new star in heaven tonight,

One that shone so brightly through this life.

We who knew him were blessed

For his light brightened our lives.

There is sadness now in this darkness,

For I will miss my friend.

He was known by many names

But to me he was my father.

He has now been laid to rest

Beneath the soil he so loved.

Surrounded by family and friends,

Sharing in their eternal rest.

for some reasons, it makes me feel really lonely... a bit touchy today

very sentimental
