Your spirit did not bend
You faced your pain with courage
Until the very end.
You tried so hard to stay with us
Your fight was all in vain
God took you in His loving arms
And freed you from your pain.
You didn’t deserve what you went through
And so He gave you rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
