If tears could build a stairway and
memories were a lane, I would walk right up to heaven to bring you home again
Our farewell words were spoken.
But never enough time to say goodbye.
You were gone before I knew it.
And only God knows why.
My heart still aches in sadness.
And secret tears will flow
What it meant to lose you.
I will forever know
God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So He put his arms around you
And said" Come to me"
With tearful eyes we watched you
And saw you pass 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 to us
That He only takes the best!
God looked around His garden
And found an empty place
He looked down upon His earth
And saw your loving face
He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest
His garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain
And knew that you would never get well on earth again
He saw your path was difficult
He closed your tired eyes
He whispered to you"Peace Be Thine"
And gave you wings to fly
When we saw you sleeping so calm
And free of pain
We would not wish you back to earth to suffer once again
You've left us precious memories
Your love will be our guide
You live on through your children
You're always by our side
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you did not go alone
For part of us went with you
On the day God called you home
