Een gedicht wat ons allen aansprak...

God looked around his garden
and He found an empty place.
He Then looked down upon this earth
and saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
and lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful.
He always takes the best.
He knew that you where suffering,
He knew you where in pain,
He also knew in Heaven
you would never hurt again.
He saw the road was getting rough
and the hill harder to climb.
So, he closed your weary eyelids
and whispered, "Peace Be Thine".
It broke my heart to lose you,
but you didn't go alone.
For part of me went with you
the day He called you home.
If tears could build a staircase
and memories a lane,
I'd walk all the way to heaven and bring you home again
