POEM
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
and saw you fade away,
and though we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest,
It comforts our hearts to know,
God only takes the best.
