God’s Garden The flowers in God’s garden are wonderful and rare…

The flowers in God’s garden
are wonderful and rare
but there is one so beautiful,
it’s quite beyond compare.

God gave to us this flower,
a gift from up above.
“Take great care of this”, he said,
so we tended it with love.

It budded here on earth
a little while ago,
but it was bound for heaven,
so we had to let it go.

Some flowers are here for years and years,
for some it’s just a few.
So remember when you have these flowers
They’re God’s gift to you.

With tears we saw you suffer,
As we watched you fade away,
Our hearts were almost broken,
As you fought so hard to stay.

We knew you had to leave us,
But you never went alone,
For part of us went with you
The day you left your home.

Think of me as one at rest,
For me you should not weep,
I have no pain, no troubled thoughts,
For I am just asleep.

The living thinking me that was,
Is now forever still.
And life goes on without me
As time forever will.

If your heart is heavy now
Because I’ve gone away,
Dwell not long upon it, friend,
For none of us can stay.

Those of you who liked me
I sincerely thank you all,
And those of you who loved me
I thank you most of all.

The answer to life’s riddle
In life I never knew,
I go with hope that now I will,
And even so will you.

Oh, foolish, foolish me that was,
I who was so small,
To have wondered, even worried,
At the mystery of it all.

And in my fleeting lifespan
As time went rushing by,
I found some time to hesitate,
To laugh, to love, to cry.

Matters it now if time began,
If time will ever cease?
I was here, I used it all,
And now I am at peace.
