Teresa Boling had this on Facebook one time and did not know its source. I have made a wall memorial plaque using the words, have searched for and found the source. The person who wrote the poem does not want recognition so wants to be "anon", but gave permission for its use to anyone who would not claim they had been the Author. She wrote it for her husband, who died in 1986, and I made a Wall Memorial out of it, which is waiting to be framed. It so well describes, in a very small part, what my family lost ....
This is my ONLINE SALUTE TO THE BEST OF SPINDRIFT and he was NUMERO UNO!
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 I watched you
And saw you pass away.
Although I loved you dearly,
I could not make you stay.
A Golden Heart stopped beating,
Hard Working Hands at rest.
God broke my heart to prove to me,
He only ... takes the best.
