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.
Although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands now rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
