Harry O “Pappy” Mottern

In loving memory of our Harry O “Pappy” Mottern who passed away one year ago on October 28.

GOD’S GARDEN

God looked around His garden

And 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 saw that you were

suffering,

He knew that you were in pain,

He knew that you would never

Get well on earth again.

He saw 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.

We miss you.

Wife Nadine and your Family
