God saw her getting tired,

a cure was not to be.

He wrapped her in his loving arm

and whispered “Come with me.”

She suffered much in silence,

Her spirit did not bend.

She faced her pain with courage,

until the very end.

She tried so hard to stay with us

but her fight was not in vain,

God took her to His loving home

and freed her from her pain.
