Precious Memories

Precious Memories

God ‘s Garden AUTHOR UNKNOWN

God looked around His garden, And saw an empty space.

He looked down from heaven, And saw your smiling face.

He put his arms around you And whispered “come to rest.”

His garden must be beautiful, He only picks the best.

It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone.

A part of me went with you, The day God called you home.

My thoughts are always with you, A million tears I’ve cried, And if love could have saved you, You never would have died.

Our Love
