God’s Garden
God Looked around His garden and He found an empty place.
He then looked down upon this earth and saw a tired face.
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful He always take the best.
He knew you were suffering; He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never get well on earth again.
So He closed your weary eyelids and whispered. “Peace be thine.”
He took you up to Heaven With his hands gentle and so kind.
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.
