TIRED

God saw you getting tired

And a cure was not to be

So he put his arms around you

And whispered &#8220Come to Me”

With tearful eyes we watched you

And saw you pass away,

And though we loved you dearly

We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,

A precious soul at rest God broke our hearts to prove to us

He only takes the best
