We all got that phone call

We all heard the news

We didn't want to believe it

How could it be true?

Not one heart not breaking

Not one tear unshed

As we all sat crying

Questions whirling in our heads

Why you? Why now?

Why not me instead?

How did this happen?

There's nothing left unsaid

We will never forget you

Or your smiling face

Your radiant energy

Your loving embrace

Now fly through the heavens

Break free through the clouds

You're free to go home now

At last, rest safe and sound
