Ode To Jimmy James
Goodbye Jimmy James
we love you,
as we turn to watch you go
may our God look down
above you
and protect you
for you know,
we depend upon your caring
through the darksome nights
alone,
all the weight that you are sharing
through no failings of your own.
you have gathered up the burdens
{though you've never said they were,}
when she passed through
death's dark curtains
you have paid the debts for her.
Sacrificed your dreams of wonder ,
left your lambs out on the hill,
other sheppards they are under,
yet you take that bitter pill.
without word or deed of sorrow
nor regret do you convey
though you're leaving here
tomorrow,
you are in our hearts to stay.
