God saw you getting tired when a cure was not to be.
He closed His arms around you, and whispered "Come to Me"
In tears we saw you sinking, we watched you fade away.
Our hearts were almost broken, you fought so hard to stay,
But when we saw you sleeping so peacefully from pain we would not wish you back to suffer that again.
It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn't go alone,
For parts of us when with you the day God called you home.
