God sawyou getting tired, when a cure was not to be. So He wrapped his arms aroundyou, and whispered,
((Come to Me"
You didn't deserve whatyou went through, So He gaveyou rest.
God's garden must be beautiful, He onfy takes the best
And when I sawyou sleepin~ so peaceful andfree from pain
I could not wishyou back to s'1ffer that again.
