The clouds overcast
The crowd with tears freely falling
The burden a family has to carry
The heartache that never ceases

Woe is me!
Death has come, the flesh failed
We remember you as we congregate
Dawn to Dust there is a mourning so great

That beautiful angel lying so peaceful
The elms tremble as she passes through
Even the birds fly and sing
The mother dog whines for her baby

For the riches of love overflows
The stained tears tell a story so true.
The grapple of wisdom, I will never fall!
You are still there just in my heart

We lost a teacher and a potter
But gained insight and understanding
From the trial given to us so harsh
In the end, you were still there
Your heart never truly closes from the passing of a loved one, but you can use what you remember of them to better yourself..
