God Saw You Getting Tired
God saw you getting tired, when a cure was not to be, So He put His arms around you and whispered, "Sollie Mae, come to me"
With tearful eyes we vvatched you suffer and slowly fade away. Although we loved you very much, we could
not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating a determined spirit was at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
