God saw you Getting Tired God knew that you were so tired, And a cure was not to be, So, he put his arms around you. And whispered come with me. With tearful eyes we watched And saw you pass away. Although, we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating. Hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best. For in the hearts of those who love you Your memory lives on. Love, Honey and The Children "Honey" We took our vows together Said, "Till death do us part", But when God came and took your hand My whole world Fell apart. No one knows the heartache I try so hard to hide, Only God knows how many times I've broken down and cried. When I look back upon our lives One of the things that make me glad, That you chose me to share with you The precious years we had.
