We saw you fading like a flower but could not make you stay.
We nursed you with tender kindness until God called you away.
You bid no one last farewell. You said good-by to none.
The heavenly gates just opened wide with a lovely voice said come.
God knew you were suffering and the hills were hard to climb,
So He gently closed your weary eyes and whispered
"Peace Be Thine."
