Only The Best
(unknown author)
A heart of gold stopped beating,
two shining eyes at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove,
He only takes the best.
God knows you had to leave us,
but you did not go alone,
for a part of us went with you,
the day He called you home.
To some you'll be forgotten,
to others a part of the past,
but to those of us who loved you,
Your memory will always last.
---------
We will all miss you Ken and when the stars twinkle, we'll be winking back at ya!
