A m illion ti mes we have needed you, A m illion ti mes we have cried. If love alone could have spared you, You would have never died. If all the world was ours to give, We would give it, yes; and more. To see you coming up our steps, And walking through our door. To hear your voice, to see your smile, To sit and talk w ith you a while, To be w ith you the same old way, Would be our fondest today. A heart of gold stopped beating, Two smiling eyes at rest, God broke our hearts to pr ove to us, He only takes the best.

" The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the,still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of right eousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley ofthe shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. "

May I go now? Do you think the time is right? May I say good-bye to pain filled days and endless
lonely nights? I've lived my life and done my best, an example
I tried to be. So can I take that step beyond and set my spirit free? I didn 't want to go at first. I fought with all my might But something seems to draw me now to a warm
and loving light. I want to go. I really do. It's difficult to stay. But I will try as best I can to live just one more day. To give you time to care for me and share your love
and fears. I know you 're sad and afraid, because I see your tears. I'll not be far, I promise that, and hope you'll
always know That my spirit will be close to you, wherever you
may go. Thank you so for loving me. You know /love you too, That's why it's hard to say good-bye and end this
life with you. So hold me now, just one more time and let me
hear you say,
1 Because you care so much for me, you 'lllet me o
to today.
