Funeral Poems : God Saw You Getting Tired
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
and although we love you dearly
we could not make you stay.
A Golden heart stopped beating
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
he only takes the best
I just wanted to say that I received this poem after my father passed away in May of 1998 and at that time it was anonymous…so there is no telling where it originated from. It helped me in so many ways…reading it allow me to see that I was being somewhat jealous and indeed after many years of suffering with different types of cancer he had gone to a better place…(I was only 16 at the time) I grew up years after that though…in fact I came across this site when I was trying to find the right words because a coworker’s mother just passed away and I wanted to give her it because it helped me….you can also find it under “He Only Takes the Best”
“God saw you getting tired”
I think that is a beautiful and heart warming saying, we used that for my grandfather when he died a year ago today and we miss him everyday and wish he was still here with us.
