We watched you suffer and saw you fade 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 that he only takes the best. It?s lonesome here without you, we miss you more each day, Life doesn?t seem the same since you?ve gone away; When days are sad and lonely and everything goes wrong we seem to hear you whisper ?Cheer up and carry on?. Each time we see your picture, You seem to smile and say Don?t cry, I?m in God?s keeping, We?ll meet again some day?.
