Oh Child, let ye sleep that peaceful sleep.

For your soul, only the Lord to keep.

Let thy pain be embraced by the Almighty.

Let thy Spirit go ever so lightly.

Twelve years, and still so much to go,

but here lies the end of the road.

But one ending is just another beginning,

thy Spirit, it rises, never wavering.

The aches and pains that you held on Earth,

never for a minute determined your worth.

Your smile, it light those around you.

Your eyes, they were pure and true.

And blessed were the people who knew you.

They will cry, and be sad and blue.

But with faith, I hope they can learn to move on too,

not to forget, but to still always remember you.
