God saw you 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. And though we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard-working hands at rest, And although our hearts were broken We know, God knows best.



i love you uncle mike <3
