You were a precious gift from God above
You touched our hearts in so many ways
You heard God’s whisper calling you home
You didn’t want to go and leave us alone.
You held on tight, till all the strength was gone
and you could no longer fight.
So you gave your hand to God and slowly drifted away,
knowing that with our love we will be together again someday.
