God saw you getting tired, and a cure just couldn’t be —
So he put his arms around you and said, “Come to Me”
With tearful eyes we watched you and saw you pass away, and though we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands were put to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
