God saw you were 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

And saw you fade away.

Although we loved you dearly

We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating

Your tender hands at rest.

God took you home to prove to us

He only takes the best.
