God saw you getting tired when a cure was not to be,
He closed his arms around you and whispered, “Come to me.”
In tears we saw you sinking, we watched you fade away,
Our hearts were almost broken you fought so hard to stay.
But when we saw you sleeping, so peacefully, free from pain,
We would not wish you back to suffer that again.
So treasure him, Lord, in your Garden of Rest,
For here on earth he was one of the best.
