In loving memory of George Doutt Sr. who passed away March 8, 2009.

God saw you getting tired,

A cure was not to be,

So He put his arms around you

And whispered, "Come to Me"

With tearful eyes we watched you

And saw you fade away.

Although we loved you dearly

We could not make you stay.

Many times we've thought of you

Many times we've cried,

If love alone could save you,

You never would have died.

A golden heart stopped beating,

Your tender hands at rest,

God took you home to prove to us

He only takes the best.

A million times we needed you,

A million times we've cried,

If love alone could save you,

You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly,

In death we love you still,

In our heart you hold a place,

That no one could ever fill.

It broke our heart to lose you,

But you didn't go alone,

For part of us went with you,

The day God took you home.
