"Little" Tony Farrar

Our “Little Tony” had sad we became,
In hearing that with your whole life you gave.

Fighting for what in your heart you believed,
It still was so hard, that all our hearts grieved.

But knowing that you, a soldier, brave and strong,
Was there to make right out of so much wrong.

Our love for you, gave us all strength,
Believing that you would endure through the length.

Then came the news, that a hero you were,
With all of the pride, there were so many tears.

I hope in your life you knew how loved you are.
And that you will carry our love to afar.

Your grandmother greeted you at the gates I know,
With Johnny and all other loved ones in tow.

The family you’re with, is our family to come,
And someday soon, we will all be one.

But until then, please know this,
That each and every day, you will be missed.

Your precious life will be a tender memory,
With ferocious pride of how you fought for the free.

With so much love, we say ‘good-bye’ to you today,
Knowing our reunion will be not so far away.

So, now, right here, we remember you with love,
Until, Little Tony, we will meet with you above.
