If our love could have saved you, You never would have died. You did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you Home. He saw you growing tired, When a cure was not to be, He closed His arms around you, And whispered "Come to Me" For all that you went through, He saw you needed rest.

God's Garden must be beautiful, For He only picks the best. God keep Your arms around our dad, Make up for all his suf fenng, that wasn't fair, Until we meet again someday.
