God sawyou getting tired And a cure was not to be So He put his arms aroundyou And whispered aCome to Me)) With tearful eyes we watchedyou And sawyou pass away And although we love you dearly
We could not makeyou stay
A golden heart stopped beating Hard working hands at rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best. -Katie Evans
We love you)
