October comes with
sad regret,
The day, the month, we
will never forget.
We watched you suffer,
We watched you die,
But all we could do
Was stand helplessy by.
God took your hand,
And we had to part.
He eased your pain
and broke our hearts.
If we had
1 lifetime wish,
One dream that could come true
We'd pray to God with
ALl our hearts,
For yesterday and Y-O-U!
If teardrops were
A stairway,
And memories
Were a lane,
We'd run all the way to heaven
And bring you home again.
But God saw you were
Getting tired,
When a cure was not
To be,
So he took from the earth
Someone we loved so D-E-A-R
You suffered much
In silence,
Your spirit did not bend.
You faced your pain
With courage
Until the very end.
Through tears we
Watched you slipping,
We watched you
Fade away,
Our hearts were
Almost broken,
You fought so hard to stay.
When the end came
So peacefully
And you were finally
Free from pain
We could not wish
You back,
To suffer that again.
So keep your arms around him, Lord,
And give him
Special care.
Make up for all he suffered,
And all that seemed unfair
