Vichnaya PamYat We all lived in hope We prayed in vain That God would make You well again Tired and weary you made no fuss But tried so hard to stay with us We knew that we would lose you We thought you were prepared We told you how we loved you And how much we really cared But nothing could prepare us For the loss we feel today When you left you werent alone You took part of us away To us you are so special What more is there to say Except to say with all our hearts We wanted you to stay.
