I stood on the shore with my friend and as we watched a ship drop out of site over the horizon out of view my friend said, 'there she goes', and on another shore as the ship appeared, they were cheering.

God saw he was getting tired and a cure was not to be
So He put his around him and whispered, "Come with me"
With tearful eyes we watched him suffer and fade away
Although we cold not bear to lose him, we could not bid him stay
A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands laid to rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best
