God saw that she was getting tired, And a cure was not to be, So He put His arms around her And whispered, Come with Me. With tearful eyes we watched her, And saw her fade away. Although we loved her dearly, We could not make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands to rest. Got broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.
