~ God's Garden ~
And found an empty place
He then looked down on earth
And saw your tired face
He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest
God's garden must be beautiful
He only takes the best
He knew 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
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
~ Remembering ~
Go ahead and mention my child
The one that died, you know
Don't worry about hurting me further
The depth of my pain does not show
Don't worry about making me cry
I am already crying inside
Help me release the tears
That I try to hide
I am hurt when you just keep silent
Pretending he did not exist
I'd rather you mention my child
Knowing that he has been missed
If you ask me how I'm doing
I'd say "pretty good" or "fine"
But healing is something ongoing
I feel it will take a lifetime
