LAFERLA - SIMON MARTIN.
A year ago today
You passed away
To the land of love
You are now a white dove
With the Lord you stay
And for us you pray
Not a day goes by, sweet Simon
That you're not thought of
Every hour
Your sweet gentleness
Touched us all
Till we meet again,
Till we meet again
As we await for God's call.
Mummy, daddy, Sandra and Michael.
