God looked upon his garden

And found an empty space

Then he looked down on the earth

And saw your tired face

He put his arms around you

And lifted you to rest

God’s garden must be beautiful

For he only takes the best

He saw the road was 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 did not go alone

For part of us went with you

To gods garden- your new home

“Gone but never forgotten”
