John, Daddy, Pop-Pop…….. our rock, our hearts, our soul. We will see you in heaven.
Softly, I will leave you softly For my heart would break If you should wake- and see me go So I leave you softly long before you kiss me Long before your arms can beg me stay For one more hour or one more day After all these years, I can’t bear your tears to fall So softly as I leave you there, as I leave you there.
