God saw that you were getting tired
And a cure was not to be;
So He put His arms around you and
Whispered ``Come home with Me.''
With tearful eyes
We watched you suffer
And saw you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly
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.
