Do it with a kind deed or word to someone who needs you.
If you do all that I have asked, I will live forever."

God saw you getting weary, He did what He thought best,
He put His arms around you and said, "come rest."
He opened up His golden gate on that heartbreaking day,
And with His arms around you, You gently slipped away.
It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone,
A part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
"If someday you feel a kiss on your cheek
as the breeze passes you by, know that I sent that one".
Rest In Peace
