We really didn't have her long - Our friend whose gone away. And if things could be different I confess I'd have her stay With us and bless us with her friendship and her smile, She grew so very dear to us in such a little while.
Now we all are lonesome - Each heart has an empty space- That wants to feel her hand again and see her smiling face - And hear her speak so gently, and just be with us each day. We miss her and we're grieving for - Our Friend whose gone away.
But I am very thankful -There is peace within my soul - For I know she's with Jesus - I know He has made her whole. And I know too I'll see her when He calls me from this place, And when I go to live with Him - I know I'll see her face.
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 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 the road was getting rough, And the hills were 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 The day God called you home. - Author Unknown
