He Only Takes The Best (Memorial Poetry)

God saw you getting tired,
And a cure was not to be.
So he placed his arms around you;
Then whispered, "Come to me".

With tearful eyes we watched you;
we cried as we watched you pass away.
Though truly we will miss you,
we cannot make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating;
Hard working hands
Were then laid to rest

God sometimes breaks the hearts
Of those who cherish another
To show, he only takes the best.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
