God saw you getting tired,

The cure was not to be.

So He closed His arms around you

And whispered “Come with me.”

You suffered much in silence

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 to His loving Home

And freed you from all of your pain.

Never does a day go by

That I don’t think of you

A lump forms deep within my chest

And tears begin to flow

So many times I’ve needed you

To talk, to share, to laugh.

If love could have saved you;

You never would have died.
