God Saw You Getting Tired  

“God saw you getting tired 

And a cure was not to be 

So he put his arms around you 

And whispered, 

Come to me. 

With tearful eyes we watched you 

And saw you pass away 

And although we loved you dearly 

We could not make you stay. 

A Golden heart stopped beating 

Hard working hands at rest. 

God broke our hearts to prove us 

 He only takes the best.” Author Unknown
