BESIDE YOUR BEDSIDE

We sat beside your bedside,

Our hearts were crushed and sore,

We did our best to the end,

Till we could do no more.

In tears we watched you fade away,

And though our hearts were breaking,

We knew you could not stay.

You left some aching hearts,

That loved you most sincere.

We never shall and never will ever

Forget you, daughter dear.
