He Only Takes The Best

Sometimes the greatest people on earth 
Are the ones who are taken away.
The greatest smiles, the greatest hearts, 
We beg and plead to stay. 

But sometimes the unexpected will happen, 
And sadly there's nothing to do. 
Just sit idly by, and wait and cry, 
And curse this nightmare come true. 

Sometimes encouraging words are exchanged, 
And most of the time we shed tears, 
And we look on in awe of the greatest strength 
Attempting to beat all our fears. 

And when you last hugged your greatest hug,
You knew it might be your last. 
But you threw out the thought and closed your eyes, 
Because it "can't be happening this fast." 

When you come to the end of this greatest fight, 
You'll see this person who cared. 
And you'll know he's forgiven you for all the bad times, 
And loves you for all that you've shared. 

It seems sometimes the greatest people on earth 
Must endure the most difficult things. 
That's because this world has been harsh enough... 
And they look better in angel wings.
