We knew little that morning that
God was going to call your name.
God saw you getting tired,
He did what he thought best;
He put His arms around you,
And said, "Come and rest."
He opened up His golden gates,
On that heartbreaking day;
And with His arms around you,
You gently slipped away.
In life we loved you dearly;
in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone;
A part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
I thought of when you left
you did not say a word
No hugs and kisses...
no good-bye was heard
You have changed our lives forever
Your time here not in vain
and hope you know we always tired
to keep you safe from pain
You left me peaceful memories;
your love is still our guide.
And though we cannot see you,
you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.
