DADDY
God saw that you were getting tired,
And a cure was not to be
So he put his arms around you,
And whispered "Come To Me."
With tearful eyes we watched
And saw you pass away
Although we loved you dearly
We could not make you stay
Your golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove,
That He only takes the best.
