In Honor Of My Dad

[littledove67]

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 my heart to lose you, but you did not go alone&

For part of me went with you the day

God called you home.

Hello, I was just searching the web for some poetry to include in my grandmother's obituary and came across this site. I think this poem is beautiful and would like to ask for permission to print it in her obituary?

Thank you,
