HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST

God saw he was getting tired and a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around him and whispered, "COME WITH ME".
With tear-filled eyes we watched him suffer and fade away.
Although we loved him deeply, we could not make him stay.
A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands put to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best.
