Ray Hansell - Losing A Parent

In a bed he lays
Family all around
His eyes are closed
He makes not a sound

The end is just minutes away
His final breath not yet taken
He’ll not make it another hour
Many hearts will be aching

He slowly fades to the other side
As they say, he’s almost home
His family left to deal with
A hurt and pain never known
