Poppa, God Knows Best
G o d saw you were getting tired, and a cure was not to be, So he p u t his am is around you, and whispered, "Pop come to me. " W ith tearful eyes we watchedyo u , and saw you pass away, A lthough we lovedy o u dearly, we could not m akey o u stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest, G o d broke our hearts to prove to us. ! le only takes the Best.
W ith love always and forever, I M tasha A dam s
