You were here for so many years,

You were by my side through blood sweat and tears,

We had many a chance to be best of friends and play,

But now my friend you've disappeared and gone away,

And all my emotions have gone astray,

I led you through that valley of death,

Right up until your last breath,

Its bringing me into so much stress,

Except that I know you've been brought from death to life,

I hope this helps me deal with the strife,

Because if it doesn't I might say goodbye tonight,

And join you in victory that the world considers plight.

Because I know your soul now rises,

You will have no more horrible suprises,

All you'll see is the Lords comforts,

And all I can do to myself is mumble,

Man I'm so glad your out of pain,

I am glad your soul is risen to life again.
