God saw him tired, And a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around him, And whispered "Come to Me". With tearful eyes we watched him suffer, And saw him fade away. Although we loved him dearly, We could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
