God's Garden
God looked around his garden And found an empt~ place.
He then looked down upon the earth, And saw ~our tired face .
He put His arms around ~ou And lifted ~ou to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful, He alwa~s takes the best.
He knew that ~ou were sutterlng, He knew th a t ~ou were in p ai n. He knew that ~ou would never Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was get ting ro ugh
And the hills were hard to climb.
So He closed ~ou r wear~ e~elids
And whispered "f e a ce be thine."
)t broke our hearts to lose _you 5ut _you did not go alone ... For part of us went with ~ou
The da_y God called ~ou home.
The family ofElboney L. Adams is grateful for the many acts of kindness extended to us during the homegoing of our loved one. We will always cherish your acts of love.
