RIP Cousin,
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 we loved you we couldn't 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.
Thinking of you all at this time much love always to the whanau pani
From my whanau back home & here in Australia ❤️❤️❤️
