God’s Beautiful Garden
God looked around the garden and found an empty space.
He 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 for He only takes the best.
He knew that you were weary, and He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never be well on earth again. He saw the
Roads were getting rough, and the hills were hard to climb.
So, He closed your weary eyelids, and whispered, “Peace be Thine.”
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn’t go alone, for part
of us went with you the day God called you home.
