A message to Mom
God saw you getting tired
When a cure was not to be
So he closed his arms around you,
and he whispered "Come to Me"
you didn't deserve what
you went through,
so he gave you rest,
God's garden must be beautiful,
he only takes the best.
And when we saw you sleeping
So peaceful and free from pain,
we could not wish you back,
to suffer that pain again.
We love you and
will miss you so very much.
Your loving family and friends.
