God Saw You Getting Tired
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 we watched you and saw you pass away
and although we love you dearly we could not make you stay.
A Golden heart stopped beating hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best
Love forever,
Victoria Fraley and Desmond Smith
'l'ears
If tears could build a stairway,
and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to Heaven and bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken no time to say goodbye
you were gone before I knew it, and only God knows why.
My heart still aches in sadness and secret tears still flow, what it meant to lose you, no one will ever know.
To My Loving Son, Victor "Thank God for the time we Had together; you will be truly missed" I will always love you, Mom

Perhaps you sent a lovely card or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent a floral piece, if so we saw it there. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words, as any friend could say. Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us all day.
Whatever you did to console our hearts We thank you so much, whatever the part.
