GOD SAW KAREN WAS GETTING TIRED

God saw Karen was getting tired

When a cure was not to be.

So He wrapped His arms around her

And whispered “Come to Me”

In tears we saw Karen sinking,

We watched her fade away.

Our hearts were truly broken,

She fought so hard to stay.

But when we saw Karen sleeping,

Peacefully and free from pain,

We could not wish her back,

To suffer that again.

So keep your arms around Karen, Lord,

And give her special care,

Make up for all she suffered,

That seemed to us unfair.

So many times we’ve needed her.

So many times we’ve cried.

If love could have saved her,

Karen never would have died.
