Analysis of Dearly Departed
Dearly departed,
The Pastor read,
Out of the good book,
The word's were said,
Every head bowed,
Praying quietly,
Our friends spirit,
Parted silently,
Into the light,
Came angels then,
Taking him home,
Where there is no sin,
Feelings of freedom,
From pains hurt,
Lasting now forever,
Tear's on my shirt.
