The Day God Called You Home
God looked around His garden and He found an empty place. He then 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.
He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering
And a cure not to be. He knew 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 put His arms around you, And whispered, come with me. 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.
..... Humbly submitted The Family
