GOD looked around His garden and He found an empty place
He then looked down upon this earth, and saw "Jimmy's" tired face.
He put his arms around him and lifted him to rest
God's garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best.
He knew that "Jimmy" was suffering; He knew he was in pain
He knew that he would never get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb
So He closed "Jimmy's" weary eyelids, and whispered, Peace be thine.
It broke our hearts to lose him but he didn't go alone,
For part of us went with him the day God called him home.
Humbly Submitted,
Your Family
