God Saw You Getting Tired (P)

God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be,
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 love you dearly,
we could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.

And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be any more. The former things have passed away.
She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes; Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies.One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves […]
Wishing you a rainbow For sunlight after showers— Miles and miles of Irish smiles For golden happy hours— Shamrocks at your doorway For luck and laughter too, And a host of friends that never ends Each day your whole life through!
May your heart be warm and happy With the lilt of Irish laughter Every day in every way And forever and ever after.
