a widowed bride
found true love at last
now he is gone
only two years have past
brothers and sisters
all gathered around
their mournful tears
soaking the ground
a mother and father
of this beloved one
now travel the mountains
to bury their youngest son
a friend to everyone
his touch warmed our souls
now lies before us
with fingers icy cold.
his spirit has moved on
his body will forever sleep
in my heart I feel the loss
but his memories I'll forever keep
