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 suffer,

And saw you fade away.

Although we loved you

Dearly, we could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,

Hardworking hands at rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us

He only takes the best.

It's lonesome here without you

We miss you more each day.

Life doesn't seem the same

Since you've gone away.

When days are sad and lonely

And everything goes wrong,

We seem to hear you whisper,

"Cheer up and carry on."

Each time we see your picture

You seem to smile and say,

"Don't cry, I'm in God's keeping,

We'll meet again someday."
