God saw that she was getting tired,
A cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around her
And whispered, come and go with me.
Although we loved her dearly,
We could not make her stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
And hard working hands were put to rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
