God looked around His garden
and He found an empty place.
He then looked down upon the 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 would never get well on earth again.
He saw that the road was getting rough
 and the hills were 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 the day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories, your love is still our guide,
and though we cannot see you, you are always by our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same,
but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again
