God saw you getting tired, When a cure was not to be. So he wrapped his arms around you And whispered, come to me, You didn’t deserve what you went through So he gave you a rest God’s garden must be beautiful For he only takes the best. And when I saw you sleeping so peaceful and free of pain I could not wish you back to suffer that again. Your memory is our keepsake with which will never part God has you in his keeping, we have you in our hearts. ~ We Love you MOM ~
