He 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 as He always takes the best. God knew the road was getting rough and 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 did not go alone, For a part of us went with you the day God called you home.” Rest in Peace Mom, we love you.
