He Only Takes the Best

A Memorial Poem for Moms No Longer Here on This Earth

Megan Myers
God saw she was getting tired and a cure was not to be
So He put His arms around her and whispered "Come with me."

With tear-filled eyes we watched her suffer and fade away.

Although we loved her deeply, we could not make her stay.

A golden heart stopped beating, hard-working hands put to rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

    That is a wonderful testament to your brother that he gave comfort to you and yours with those words. He must have been an amazing person. When ever I miss people who have gone from my life, it is a comfort to know that I will see them again someday.

    My brother fought his battle with brain cancer and lost. Before he left us, he whispered "See you in heaven!" It was the first words he spoke in weeks. I wept but know that when he stepped from this life, he stepped into the everlasting life and somehow that brought us comfort. cheers :)
