"The Best"
God saw the road was getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So He put His arms around you
And whispered, "Come To Me "
With tearful eyes we watched you
And saw you pass away,
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay .
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest
God spoke to our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
