God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around you and whispered “Come to me.” With tearful eyes, we watched you as you slowly slipped away, and though we loved you dearly, we couldn’t make you stay. Your golden heart stopped beating, your tired hands put to rest, and God broke our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the best. -Anonymous
