REST IN PEACE
I remember the joy you brought to your grandparents life,
They’re waiting for you in heaven, just follow the light.
We’ll miss the way you laughed and your precious smile,
The short life that you lived was truly worthwhile.
So many came to see you, while you lay there in pain,
they pray for your recovery, but that was in vain.
God saw that a cure was not to be,
So he whispers to you “come follow me”.
I guess he needs another angel by his side,
So he took you to him, we’ll never know why.
Our hearts are broken and in much pain,
Our tears are falling like April’s Rain.
We stood by your side as you pass away,
We try everything to make you stay.
You were loved by your family and friends,
They stood by your side till the very end.
We’ll never forget how you made everyone feel,
Your caring and loving ways were truly real.
In our hearts we know that you are the best,
Now go in peace Melanie, it’s time to rest.
