God looked around the 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 you were in pain

He knew that you would never

Get well here 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 our hearts to lose you

But you didn't go alone

For part of us went with you

That day that God called you home.

Words cannot express how much we will miss her, but we take comfort knowing heaven has another Angel watching over us.
