God saw you getting tired
When a cure was not to be
So He put his arms around you
And whispered “Tom, come with Me”
In tears we saw you sinking
We watched you fade away
Our hearts felt physically broken
You fought so hard to stay
But when we saw you sleeping
So peacefully free from pain
We could not wish you back
To suffer more again
Never does a day go by
That I don’t think of you
A lump forms deep within my chest
And my tears begin to flow
So many times I’ve needed you
To talk, to share, to laugh;
If love could have saved you
You never would have died.
So keep your arms around him Lord
And give Tom special care
Make up for all he suffered
And all that seemed unfair
