God saw you getting tired

when a cure was not to be.

So He closed his arms

around you and whispered

“Come to Me”.

You didn’t deserve what

you went through,

so He gave you rest.

God’s garden must be beautiful:

He only takes the best.

And when we saw you sleeping,

so peaceful and

free from pain,

we could not wish you back

to suffer that again.
