-Forever So-
God has come to call upon you,
So he called your name out loud,
He wanted you in heaven with him,
To make him ever so proud.
He has taken you to his kingdom,
High to the heavens above,
God knew he only wanted yo,
To help him show his love.
One thing God has done,
He took your suffering and pain away,
He took you home to your family,
Who has left us other days,
Remember Carol from our hearts,
We will love and miss you forever so,
As we all sat down beside your bed,
We listened to the stories you told.
