Mamian,
God saw you were getting tired
and a cure was not to be
so he put His arms around you
and whispered, "Come to Me".
With tearful eyes I watched you,
and saw you pass away.
Although I loved you dearly....
I could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest.
God broke my heart to prove to me
He only takes the best.
