and a cure was not to be, 
so He put His arms around them 
and whispered, "Come with Me." 
With tearful eyes, we watched them 
as they slowly faded away. 
Although we loved them dearly, 
we could not make them stay. 
Their lifes were not an easy journey, 
with many stops along the way, 
to give themselves to those in need 
so they could make it through their day. 
They played many roles throughout their lives, 
 spouse, mother, father, child, sister, brother, soldier, and my friend. 
There is an empty place in our lives 
as we see such an important life end. 
A golden heart stopped beating, 
hard working hands are at rest. 
But sorrow is softened in knowing 
They trusted in Jesus Christ, they are Blessed! |
