Death was caused by a cancer which ate his nose off.
Our hearts are heavy and sore
We felt so lonely here today
Death has entered our home
And taken dear father away.
It was hard to drink the bitter cup
Though the good Lord knoweth best
It was hard to give our dear father up
When He called him home to rest.
It's hard to do without you father
But God claimed you for his own.
We could but bow our heads and say
Oh God thy will be done.
Oh why did we have to lose him,
Why it was we could not tell
How it makes us long to see him
In that land beyond the skies.
Dear father thou hast left us
And thy loss we deeply feel
But the God who has bereft us;
He can all our sorrows heal.
Never more on Earth we'll meet thee
Since thou art numbered with the dead,
But in heaven we hope to greet thee
Where no farewell tears are shed.
Lewis B. Eggers
