A Tribute on a special day



HE
ONLY TAKES
THE BEST

God saw she was getting tired
and a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around her
and whispered, "Come with me."

With tear-filled eyes we watched
her suffer and fade away.
Although we loved her deeply,
we could not make her stay.

A Golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands put to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
he only takes the best


This day will always stay in our hearts as a special birthday and anniversary.
God bless their memory.

Joanne,

I'll echo Gerry, a very nice poem that really hit the target.

We all miss them terribly.
