"God saw he was getting tired, and a cure was not to be, so he opened his arms, and whispered come with me. With tearful eyes, we watched him suffer And saw him fade away. Although we loved him dearly, we could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating hard working to hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best."
