GOD SAW YOU WERE GETTING TIRED

God saw you were getting tired ~

and a cure was not to be.

So He put His arms around you

and whispered ~ come with Me.

With tearful eyes we watched you suffer

and slowly fade away.

Although we loved you dearly

We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating

Working hands were put to rest

God broke our hearts to prove to us

He only takes the best.

SETTING SUN ---- BY ETHEL BRANCH

I DON'T WANT TO STAND IN THE SETTING SUN AND HATE MYSELF FOR THE THINGS I'VE DONE. I WANT TO HOLD MY HEAD ERECT. I WANT TO DESERVE ALL MENS RESPECT.
