God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "come with 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, hardworking hands to rest. God broke our heart to proof to us He only take the best.
