GOD TAKES THE BEST
God saw you getting tired And a cure was not to be, So He put his arms around you and whispered, "Come 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 You're now at peaceful rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST.
We all love you and miss you.
