God’s Garden
God looked around his garden
and found an empty place
He then looked down
upon the Earth
And saw your tired face
He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest
God’s garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering;
He knew that you were in pain
And knew you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw your path was difficult,
He closed your tired eyes,
He whispered to you
“Peace be thine”
And gave you wings to fly.
When we saw you sleeping
So calm and free of pain,
We would not wish you back to earth
To suffer once again.
You’ve left us precious
memories,
Your love will be our guide.
You live on through your children,
You’re always by our side.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
