God Saw You. Poem by Coale Johnson

God saw you dying slowly,
And a cure not to be.
He wrapped you in his loving arms and said,
' Child, come with me.'
With tearful eye I saw you pass away,
Although I loved you dearly I could not make you stay.
A happy heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands would rest.
God broke my heart to,
But he only takes the best!
You're in heaven now forever,
No more worries and no pain,
You're in my heart forever,
We'll be united once again.
