Clare UK Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 We met with the minister today to discuss mam's service. Although she wasn't religious, she was very traditional so we opted for a reading from the bible and asked for recommendations. This was the first one he read. It really touched me and was so appropriate 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 knew that you were suffering He knew 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
