James V. Elliott
In memory of James V. Elliott
In tears we saw you sinking,
And watched you pass away.
Our hearts were almost broken,
We wanted you to stay.
But when we saw you sleeping,
So peaceful, free from pain,
How could we wish you back with us,
To suffer that again?
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you
The day God took you home.
