GOD SAW YOU GETTING TIRED God saw you getting tired, When a cure was not to be, He closed his arms around you, And whispered, Come to Me . In tears we saw you sinking, We watched you fade away, Our hearts were broken, You fought so hard to stay. What you suffered, you told us few, You didn't deserve what you went through. Tired and weary, you made no fuss, But tried so hard to stay with us. But when we saw you sleeping, So peaceful, free from pain, We could not wish you back, To suffer that again. So treasure her Lord, In Your garden of rest, For here on earth, she was the very best. God Bless you, Amen.
