Come with Me
“God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around you and whispered,
“Come with Me”
With tearful eyes and heavy hearts we watched you slowly fade away.
Although we loved you dearly, we would not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands are now at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.”
