The Day God Catted You Home 
God looked around His Garden, And found an empty space, 
Then He looked down upon this earth And saw your tired face. 
He put His arms around you And lifted you to rest. 
Gods garden must be beautiful, For He only takes the best. He knew you were in pain 
He knew that you were suffering, He knew you never would get well 
Upon this earth again. He saw the roads were getting rough, 
And the hills were hard to climb He closed your weary eyes, 
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.
