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." Hard working hands to rest God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best. It broke our hearts to lose you But you did not go alone For part of went with you To Gods garden, your new home. LEATHERDALE GARDINER 1501 Waverley Street 949-4860
