Another poem sent from a dad who lost his disabled daughter. The third verse is particularly powerful for those who have lost a child after long term illness.
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 roads were 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.
