In tears we saw you sinking,
we watched you fade away,
you suffered much in silence,
you fought so hard to stay.
Your golden heart stopped beating
Hard working hands at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
If all the world were ours to give
We’d give it – yes, and more,
To see your living smile again
And greet you at our door.
How often there comes before us
Your dear face, kind and true,
For death can never take away
Our memories of you.
