ROGER LEE SPARGO
JULY 5, 1949-NOVEMBER 17, 2000
I did not know that rainy afternoon
That God had come to take me home
I had no time to say good-by
So please-no tears-do not cry
I am safe with God above
And you will always have my love.
Just think of me-I will be there
For all your sorrows I will share
And also joys, laughter and love
For I am just above
Time goes so fast and someday you'll see
You will all be here with me.
