God looked around his garden,
And He found an empty place.
He then looked down upon this 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 that the road
was getting rough,
And the hills are hard to climb.
So He closed your weary eyelids.
And whispered, "Peace Be Thine."
It broke my heart to lose you,
But you didn't go alone.
For part of me went with you,
The day God called you home.
I Love You Mom!
