And you made life more real;
With your deeds of tender kindness
That bound our hearts like steel,
Oh how we miss your activities
We had hoped that with US you'd
remain;
Yes how hard we tried to keep you
Prayers and words were all in vain,
Obi he is gone our precious Arnold
From his world of pain of woe;
For the death Angel came and
bore him
To a brighter land we know;
Now we must lay thee,
In the peaceful grave embrace;
But thy memory will be cherished,
Till we see thy heavenly face.
