 One of a Kind

Our hearts are breaking completely into, How will we ever make it without you?

We know your pain will be no more, And with your wings, you’re free to soar. Days and nights will surely be tough,

But God has got you and that is enough. You were one of a kind that everyone loved, Now you can watch over us from up above.
