Herbert "Herbie" Adams Burks

God saw that she was getting tired

And a cure was not to be

So He put His arms around her

And whispered, “Come with me.”

With tearful eyes we watched,

Suffered, and saw her fade away.

Although we loved her dearly

We could not make her stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,

Hard working hands to rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us

He only takes the best.
