God Saw You Getting Tired
When a cure was not to be so
He closed His arms around you
and whispered “”Come to Me.””
You didn’t deserve what you
went through and so
He gave you rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful
He only takes the best.
And when I saw you sleeping
So peaceful..free from pain
I could not wish you back to
Suffer that again.
