You suffered much in silence, You fought so hard to stay. You faced your task with courage, Your spirit did not bend, But still you kept on fighting Until the very end. God saw you getting tired, when a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you And whispered, "Come with Me." So when we saw you sleeping, So peaceful, free from pain. We could not wish you back, to suffer that again. You didnt deserve what you went through, So He took you home to rest. Gods garden must be beautiful, For He only takes the best."
