God saw he was getting tired and a cure was not to be;
So He put His arms around him and whispered "Come with Me."
With tearful eyes we watched him suffer
And saw him fade away;
Although we loved him dearly,
We could not make him stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands to rest;
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
He believed all things were possible with God's help. He taught us life's lessons and inspired us "to do the best we can." We will remember his courage, his laughter and his love.
