Our children’s grandmother, my husband’s mother, passed away on August 5, 2008. She died at home, under the care of Hospice, with her four children at her side. Our Mom-Mom will be greatly missed but it was her time to go, her guardian angel was waiting for her.
This poem is dedicated to Mom-Mom…
God’s Garden
God looked around His garden
And found an empty place
He then looked down upon the 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 were suffering
He knew you were in pain,
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb
So He closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered “Peace Be Thine.”
It breaks our hearts to lose you
But you didn’t go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

Beautiful Poem…
it’s so nice she could die with her four children with her… and at home with hospice.. that probably makes it easier to say good-bye
