God saw that you were getting tired and a cure was not to be
so He put his arms around you and whispered, "Come to Me"

With tearful eyes we watched you and saw you pass away although we loved you dearly we could not make you stay

A golden heart stopped beating hard working hands at rest
God broke our hearts to prove
to us that He only takes the best
