John

We can't hold on to you for a second longer.
We have got to say goodbye
As our lives continue
You have gone away
There are no questions why.
We know.

You left us full of laughter,
You left us full of fun,
You left us with a smile
Oh brave; how brave,
How amazing!
Oh dear, loved, one.

I will miss your full of vigour
Your quiet words in the storm,
Your wise advice and tenderness
Your laughter, joking
Oh, John.  The fun.

You fought your battle bodly,
Showed us how it could be done,
In the face of agnoy
Pain so dreadful
You smiled, you carried on.

What, oh what a one.
