o.O's ar.Oen
God looked around his garden, Andfound an empty place, He then looked down upon the earth, And saw your tiredface.
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 that you were in pain. He know that you would never,
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was 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 ofus went with you, The day God called you home.
