God saw he was getting tired,
And a cure was not to be;
So he put His arms around him,
And whispered, “Come with 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 to rest;
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the Best!
With Love from your Family
