God say you getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So he put his arms around her
and whispered, “Come to Me.”
With tearful eyes we watched her
And saw her pass away
And although we love you dearly
We couldn’t make you stay
A Golden Heart stopped beating,
Hard working and loving hands at rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
