God saw you 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 you suffer And saw your strong attempts to live Although we love you dearly We could not make you stay A golden heart stopped beating A heart filled with love and kindness Although our hearts are broken You are in Heaven now God is truly merciful We love you Mom GOODBYE Until we meet again.
