Gods Garden Must Be Empty

Gods garden must be
empty,
He set his sights on
you.
I know he's going to
take you,
And there's nothing
I can do.

I wish we had known
sooner,
About the tumors in
your head.
I wish something,
had been done,
Before the cancer
spread.

It's too late now to
kill it,
They can only buy
you time.
God must've needed
another angel,
Because he's taking
another one of mine.
