Rest In Peace My Son

God saw how very tired he was,
He felt his aching heart,
He knew his troubled mind;
So God wrapped His arms around him
and whispered, “I will give you rest”.
With tearful eyes, I watched him,
With hands folded, I prayed for him.
My heart ached as I felt his pain,
My mind weary as I shared his sorrows.
I tried to calm his anxious heart,
I tried to ease his troubled mind.
All I could do was pray for him,
To love him completely,
To hold him close.
A precious heart stopped beating,
A weary mind laid to rest,
A troubled soul now at peace.
Although I may never understand how,
I do understand why!
My son you are at rest now,
Soon we shall meet again,
God promised us so!
I love you my son!
