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 saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb; So He closed your wary 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.
