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. – Author unknown
