God's Garden

God looked around His garden

And He found an empty place

He then looked down upon the earth

And saw your precious 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 you were in pain

He knew you' d never ever

Get well on earth again.

So He closed your weary eyelids

And whispered " Peace be thine "

Then He took you up to Heaven

With Hands so gentle and kind.

It broke our hearts to lose you

But you did not go alone,

For part of us went with you

The day God welcomed you home.
