God saw he was getting tired, and a cure was not to be; So he put His arms around him and whispered, "Come to Me," With tearful eyes we watched him quickly fade away. Although we loved him dearly, we could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands to rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
