Michael McArdle

A light from our household is gone,

a voice we loved is stilled,

a place is vacant in our home,

which never can be filled.

We have to mourn the loss of one,

we did our best to save,

beloved on earth, remembered still,

as one being so brave.

‘Twas hard to part with one so dear,

we little thought the time was near.

Farewell dear one, your life is past,

our love for you till the end will last.
