GOD'S GARDEN
God looked around His garden
And found an empty space.
He then looked down upon this earth
And saw her tired face.
He put His arms around her
And lifted her to rest;
God's garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best.
He knew that she might never
Get well upon this earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb,
So He closed her weary eyelids
And whispered, “Peace be thine.”
It broke our hearts to lose her
But she never went alone,
For part of us went with her
The day God called her home.
