God Knows Best
God saw he was getting tired,
And a cure was not to be;
So He put his arms around him, and whispered
It's Time To Come With Me.
With tearful eyes we watched him suffer, we
saw him fade away,
Although we loved him dearly
We could not make him stay.
His golden heart stopped beating
Hard working hands now at rest,
GOD broke our hearts to prove to us...
HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST.
