God saw you getting tired,
The cure was not to be
He wrapped you in His Loving Arms
And whispered, “Come with Me”
You suffered much in silenced
Your spirit did not bend
You faced your pain with Courage
Until the very end
You tried so hard to stay with us
Your fight was not in vain
God took you to his loving house
And freed you from your pain
A golden heart stopped beating
Your loving arms at rest
God Broke Our Hearts To Prove To Us,
He Only Takes The Best!
I’m sorry for your loss. It’s hard to find the right words to say at a time like these. But I would like to encourage you to read the bible because is truly the only source of comfort and hope. It will bring clarity to all the unanswered questions regarding death. It will bring you peace of mind because you will know why humans die, what happens after death but most important what hope there is for all those who fell sleep in death 5:28, 29, Hechos 24:15.
I will keep your family in my prayers. Take care.
