For Pat
Let go, let go, the pain is gone.
The road was rocky and so long.
He did his best, and so did you.
He made it far, because of you.
Within your heart, he’ll always be,
And in your fondest memories.
A man so good and also strong,
He fought so hard and fought so long.
While your tears flow as you cry,
Think of that peaceful summer sky.
The day he left, the sky so clear,
He’s now in peace, so have no fear.
Let go, let go, but hold the love,
And know he’s waiting, up above.
