He only takes the best

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 up to rest

Gods garden must be beautiful;

He only takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering

He knew you were in pain

He also knew in Heaven

you would never hurt again.

He saw the road was getting rough

and the hill harder to climb

So, He closed your weary eyelids

and whispered "Peace Be Thine".

It broke our heart to lose you

but you didn’t go alone

For part of us went with you

the day He called you home.

If tears could build a staircase

and memories a lane

We’d walk all the way to heaven

and bring you home again.
