The Day God Called You Home

God looked around his garden And He found an empty place. He then looked down upon this 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 that the road was getting rough. And the hills are 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 That day that God called you home I wrote your name in the sand, but the waves washed it away. I wrote your name in the sky, but the wind blew it away. So I wrote your name in my heart, and that’s where it will stay, always” “Life is a journey. Death is the continuation of the journey. Heaven is a temporary rest. For the commencement and fulfillment Of a new life, a new hope And a new promise”
