This poem was shared with my family when my grandmother passed away. It spoke so eloquently to our experience that my grandfather read it at her memorial service.
Remembered in Love
God saw you getting tired
When a cure was not to be,
So he closed His arms around you
And whispered “Come to Me”
You didn’t deserve
What you went through
And so he gave you rest.
God’s Garden must be beautiful
He only takes the best.
And when I saw you sleeping
So peaceful and free from pain,
I could not wish you back
To suffer that again.
