Y You my
little one who has today lost the fight
B Brave
little man who stayed as long as he could
E Enjoying
the love of the neighborhood
L Laughter and
games always surrounded him
O Oh how
much joy to our life you did bring
V Viscount,
yes royal, is our Lord Kent, it has such a nice ring
E Everyone
knew how you loved to pose
D Dear
little fellow with a cute button nose
K Keen you
were to please everyone, especially your sweet mum
E Everyday
you would sit on her chair
N Never
anyone else would dare
T The
other's would watch and know you were king
T They would
pass by with sniff and a wag
H Hey Lord Kent
E
Eventually though it seemed you had to go
C Cause God
needed a special boy to help him
A always
willing to show others the way
V Violins
play as Kent
A Angels
hover as he passes the ridge
L Looking
back he will see his mum cry
I Instantly
knowing that he had died
E Endings are
sad but the future is bright
R Rainbows
will always be within Kent
"Goodbye
my family I will see you one day and I will pose once again as we all run and
play. Thank you for loving me and caring so much, I always loved that you made
such a fuss. The bridge is now ready for me to cross the rainbow is glowing and
I am ready to go. I hear God calling me so my time has now passed, I am ready
to sit with him in the cool summer grass"
