Through The Blues Without You

You were an uncle, a father,

A brother and a son

We were nearly speechless

Since the first stage had begun

A departure from your neighbourhood

Did not tear us apart

The card table is now missing

The king of blue hearts

The remaining hearts shattered

With eyes on an empty space,

Especially the hearts of

The queen, the jack and the ace

Our teardrops fall

On new blue and white flowers

Our tribe shall never forget

All those joyful hours

We shall continue to strive

And do our very best,

Even as we grieve

During your peaceful rest

We are thinking of you

And your love and children too

There are prayers for us

Through the blues without you
