To our Mom-Mom: God looked at his garden And found an empty place He then looked 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 saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb. So he closed your weary eyes And said, “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. From The Grandchildren Asha, Lauren, Leyla and Mason
