I loved the stories you told me about me growing up in your garden so I thought I would share some of them for all to read “one year your mum went on holiday so you came and stayed with us for the summer, you constantly played in the garden to the point you were so brown you matched the colour of the fence and I couldn’t find you” the other one was
“You loves bees to the point you used to go out with the bucket and pick up the bees from the clover on the grass and put them in the bucket, once the bucket was full you came in and showed me the bucket, I got such a shock I chased you back out to the garden so the bees would fly away”. As I always played in your garden I thought the following was quite fitting
Gods Garden
God looked around his garden and found an empty space. He then looked down upon this earth and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. Gods garden must now be beautiful, as he always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain, He knew you would never get well here on earth again. So he closed your weary eyelids, and whispered “peace be thine”.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn’t go alone, for part of us went with you when god called you home.
