So He put His arms around you and whispered "Come to Me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay. Your golden heart stopped beating, Your hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. Don't think of him as gone away span style="word-spacing:0px">his journey's just begun, life holds so many facets this earth is only one. Just think of him as resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years. Think how he must be wishing that we could know today how nothing but our sadness can really pass away. And think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched... for nothing loved is ever lost and he was loved so much.
