Joseph Wabasee

In tears we say you sinking,
We watched you fade away.
You suffered much in silence,
You fought so hard to stay.
You faced your task with courage,
Your spirit did not bend,
But still you kept on fighting
Until the bitter end.
God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be,
So he put his arms around you
And whispered “Come with me”.
So when we saw you sleeping
So peaceful, free from pain,
We could not wish you back
To suffer that again.
