In loving memory of my beloved aunt, Betty Sarvey

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 my heart to lose you

But you didn’t go alone,

For part of me went with you the day God called you home.
