Until he drew his final breath <br />He tried so hard to cheer, <br />All through his life until his death <br />His heart was kind and dear. <br /> <br />He lived by honest Christian ways <br />And did the best he could, <br />Until the ending of his days <br />He fought to do some good. <br /> <br />This town will be a sadder place <br />Now that his life has passed, <br />He always greeted folks with grace <br />A saint unto the last. <br /> <br />So place a flower on his grave <br />And bid a kind farewell, <br />His life for peace he bravely gave <br />Now here his soul must dwell.<br /><br />ANDREW BLAKEMORE<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/until-he-drew-his-final-breath/
