God saw you were getting tired and a cure was not meant to be,
So he put his arms around you and Whispered, Come to me
With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay.
A gentle heart stopped beating, a soul has found its rest.
Well miss you dearly. We know its for the best.
