You were always there when we needed you, No task was too great or small; With a loving heart and a willing hand, For us you did it all. Thanks for the years you gave us, And for the times we shared, We only pray that when you left us, You knew how much we cared. God saw you getting tired, And peace was meant to be, So He put His arms around you, And whispered, Come with me . Please hold her in your arms, And treasure her with care, Make up for all she suffered, And all she had to bear; Please whisper in her ear, How much we truly loved her And wish she was still here.
