TO MRS. SPINELLI

Although the body you’ll never see

The soul my friend has been set free

You’ve lost a part of you that you will always love,

The reasons why he left, he had to go above

To tell our Master of the work he’s done on earth

And let Him know it isn’t easy working since birth

Although the body you’ll never see

The soul my friend has been set free

Even in death and in sorrow there’s a bright side

Just close your eyes and search your mind

It is not easy to say goodbye

But all we can do is only to try

Although the body you’ll never see

The soul my friend has been set free

He’s the only one you could really count on

When you needed him most, you found him gone

Don’t be too sad dear Mrs. D

For heaven’s the lap of luxury

Although the body you’ll never see

The soul my friend has been set free

Written in the mid 1980s
