Things will never be the same

The day God called you home

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 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

That day that God called you home
