“God looked around His garden and saw an empty space, Then He looked down upon this earth, and saw your loving face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest, His garden must have been beautiful, He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain, And knew that you would never get well on this earth again. He saw your path was difficult, He closed your tired eyes. He whispered ‘Peace be Thine’ and gave you wings to fly. When we saw you sleeping, so calm and free from pain, We could not wish you back on earth, to suffer once again, You've left us precious memories, your love will be our guide, You live on through your children 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, on the day God called you Home”
“Dad it’s ok now, you're no longer in pain, go freely and meet our Creator and your baby boy in heaven. We miss and love you very much.”
