A Tribute
A million times we have needed her, A million times we have cried. If love alone could have spared her, She would have never died. If all the world was ours to give, We would give it, yes; and more, To see her coming up our steps, And walking through our door. To hear her voice, to see her smile, To sit and talk with her awhile. To be with her the same old way, Would be our fondest wish today. A heart of gold stopped beating, Two smiling eyes closed to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
