“God saw you getting tired, a cure was not to be, so He put His arms around you and whispered ‘Come with Me’. With tearful eyes we watched you, we watched you fade away, although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands now rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us that He only takes the best”.
