God saw she was getting tired
A cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around her,
And whispered, "Come to Me."
With tearful eyes we watched her
Suffer and fade away,
Although we could not bear to lose her,
We could not bid her stay.
A golden heart stopped beating;
Working hands laid to rest.
God broke our hearts but proved to us
He only takes His best.
