“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 pass away;

Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,

hard working hands at rest;

God broke our hearts to prove to us,

He only takes the BEST.
