BI FFIN The angels looked down and wept, And their tears turned into snow, As they saw one So beloved by man, Who simply had to go In answer to the Reaper's Grim command. For his slotted span Was spent usefully on earth. But now In his last peaceful sleep He will join his love for eternity. ?FRANCB8 TONKKL.
