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 we watched you and saw you pass away, and though we oved you dearly
we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, nard-working hands at rest. God broke
our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.
