God saw he was getting tired, And a cure was not to be. Though he put his arm around him And whispered, come with me, With tearful eyes we watched him suffer And watched him fade away. Although we loved him dearly, We couldn’t make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands put to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us. He only takes the best.
