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 you were in pain.

He knew that you would never

Get well on this earth again.

He saw your path was difficult,

He closed your tied eyes.

He whispered to you, 'Peace be Thine'.

And gave you wings to fly.

In tears we saw you sinking,

And watched you pass away.

Our hearts were almost broken,

We wanted you to stay.

But when we saw you sleeping,

So peaceful, free from pain,

How could we wish you back with us,

To suffer that again?

It broke our hearts to lose you

But you didn't go alone,

For part of us went with you

The day God took you home.
