| God saw you getting tired When a cure was not to be So he closed His arms Around you and whispered “Come to Me” You didn’t deserve what You went through And so He gave you rest. God’s garden must be beautiful, He only takes the best. In tears we saw you sinking, We watched you fade away. Our hearts were broken- You fought so hard to stay, But when we saw you sleeping So peacefully-free from pain We could not wish you back to Suffer the pain again. |
