God saw you getting tired

And a cure was not to be

So, he put his arms around you

And whispered, ‘come with me’.

With tearful eyes we watched you suffer

And saw you fade away

Although we loved you dearly

We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating

Hard working hands at rest

God broke our hearts to prove

He only takes the best.

It’s lonesome here without you

We miss you more each day

Life doesn't seem the same

Since you’ve gone away.

When days are sad and lonely

And everything goes wrong

We seem to hear you whisper,

‘Cheer up and carry on’.

Rest in peace our beloved Robin!
