My Mother and Father

THE DAY GOD CALLED YOU HOME

God looked around his Garden, and found an empty place
  He then looked down upon his earth, and saw your loving face
  He put his arms around you, and lifted you to rest.

His 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 not get any better, on this earth again.

He saw your path was difficult, he closed your tired eyes. 
He whispered to you, "Peace be Thine", and gave you wings to fly.

    When we saw you sleeping so calm and free of pain.
       We would not wish you back to earth, to suffer once again.

    You've left us precious memories, your love will be our guide
        You live through your family, you're always by our side.

    It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.
          For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.

                             My Husband Mark
                        He Only takes the Best

                         God saw you was getting tired,
                          and a cure was not to be.
                     So he put his arms around you,
                          and whispered, "Come with Me"
                     With tear filled eyes I watched you
                          suffer and fade away.
                      Although I loved you deeply,
                          I could not make you stay
                      A golden heart stopped beating,
                          hard-working hands put to rest.
                     God broke our hearts to prove to us,
                          He only takes the best.
