Come With Me

God saw he was getting tired

and the cure was not to be.

So He put his arms around him

and whispered, “Come with Me.”

With tearful hearts

we watched him fade away.

Although we loved him dearly,

we could not make him stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,

hard working hands laid to rest.

God broke our hearts to prove

to us,

He only takes the best.
