We never thought when we awoke that morning 
The sorrow the day would bring.
The blow was sudden, the shock severe, 
To part with one we loved so dear.
We cannot keep from wondering, 
Why our loved one had to die, 
And in our sad and troubled hearts, 
We keep asking why. 
The reason is hidden somewhere in 
The pattern God has planned, 
 We must believe and trust in God and someday, 
    We will understand. We miss you now, 
Our hearts are sore, as time goes by 
we'll miss you more, 
 Your loving smile, your gentle face. 
No one can fill your vacant place.
