    God saw you getting tired A cure was not to be,
    So he put his arms around you
    And wispered “come withme”

    With tearful eyes we watched you
    And saw you fade away

    Although we loved you dearly
    We could not make you stay

    A golden Heart stopped beating
    Your somber hands at rest

    God took you home to prove to us
    He only takes the best.
