Last year on July 15,

God looked around His garden

and He found an empty place.

He then looked down on 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,

He knew that you were in pain.

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 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.
