God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be,
So He closed His arms around you
And whispered “Come to Me”.
You did not deserve what you went through
And so he gave you a rest,
God’s garden must be beautiful
For he only takes the best.
In time we saw you sinking
We watched you fade away,
Our hearts were almost broken,
You fought so hard to stay.
But when we saw you sleeping,
So peacefully from pain,
We could not wish you back,
To suffer that again.
If you had spoken before you died,
These are the words you’d have replied
“Weep not for me, but courage take and love
one another for my sake”.
