GOD SAW YOU GETTING TIRED, AND A CURE WAS NOT TO BE;
SO HE PUT HIS ARMS AROUND HIM, AND WHISPERED COME WITH ME.
WITH TEAR FILLED EYES WE WATCHED HIM SUFFER AND FADE AWAY;
ALTHOUGH WE LOVED HIM DEEPLY, WE COULD NOT MAKE HIM STAY.
A GOLDEN HEART STOPPED BEATING, HARD WORKING HANDS PUT TO REST;
GOD BROKE OUR HEARTS TO PROVE TO US, HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST.
