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 I watched you
And saw you pass away
Although I love you dearly
I could not make you stay.

You’ve walked on ahead of me
And I’ve got to understand
You must release the ones you love
And let go of their hand.

I try and cope the best I can,
I’m missing you so much
If I could only see you,
And once more feel your touch.

You suffered much in silence,
And your spirit did not bend
You faced your pain with courage,
Until the very end.

A Golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
