God saw you getting tired And a cure was not to be So he put your arms around you And whispered, "come with me" With tearful eyes we watched You slowly fade away. Although we loved you dearly, We would not make you stay A golden heart stopped beating Your hard working hands put to rest God broke our hearts to prove to us "He only takes the Best."
