Joan Dahlke says
God looked around his garden he found an empty space
He then looked down upon the Earth and he saw your tired face
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful He only takes the best
He knew you were suffering
He knew you were in pain
He knew you would never get well on this Earth again
He saw the road was getting rough
He saw the hills were hard to climb
So he closed your weary eyelids and he whispered “Peace Bethine”
It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone
For a part of us went with you the day he called you home.
