"Those who know the dearest joy, know the deepest sorrow."

The years have passed so swiftly, yet it seems yesterday,

a kiss goodnight,

a soft goodbye,

and you were gone away.

Into the future,

into our past,

to where the angels trod before we knew it,

you were gone,

walking off with God.

Pain dims, never leaving,

sorrow stays and stays,

the loss was so great,

it is ever fresh,

tears are here, always.

We are so grateful for your spirit,

hovering near at times.

We feel you close,

share those moments,

in our talk and rhyme.

But we never stop our loving and missing you,

wishing you were here

none of us forget you,

your memory so dear.

Goodnight Sweet Prince.
