God Does Give and Take Away
Yes, God does give and take away
but when He gives, it is a gift
a truth your life so well portrays,
the one our lives were well spent with.
Our minds and hearts they cling to you
sifting through every memory
to find the best of you to be
what God chose to invest in me.
Yes, God does give and take away
and when He takes the time is right
and though it bring our eyes to tears
your passing was no oversight.
He knew that you would be well prepared
to sit down at the Masters side
rewarded for how well you fared,
you proved your worth every stride.
Yes, God does give and take away,
sometimes He does not give at all,
to have had you was a priviledge
from your day of birth till the day He called.
Never knowing you would have been the loss
one we now know we could not afford
because having you, as God gave with love
stands to prove He always gave enough.
