Qod Saw You
God saw you getting tired, When a cure was not to be So He wrapped his arms around you And whispered, "Come To M e."
You didn't deserve What you went through
So God gave you rest G od's garden must be beautiful
He only takes the best. And When I saw you sleeping So peaceful and free from pain
I could not wish you back To suffer that again.
We will love you always ~ Nieces and Nephews~

Kingdom of Qod
Take me Lord and cleanse me. Wash away all care

Now when I go I surely know I'll be headed to the Kingdom o f God.
