PHILIP JOHN MCCARTHY
We did not see you close your eyes
We did not see you die
All we knew was that you were gone
Without a last goodbye
It was a sudden parting Too bitter to forget
Only those who loved you Are the ones who will never forget
The happy hours we once enjoyed How sweet their memory still
But death has, left a vacant place This world can never fill
Your life was one of kindly deeds
A helping hand for others' needs
Sincere and true in heart and mind
Beautiful memories left behind
Aged 50
Open
