——————————————————————————————
God looked down on Earth and saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
With the help of his angels, they flew you to your heavenly place.
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 too hard to climb.
He closed your weary eyes and whispered “Peace be Thine”.
It broke my heart to lose you, but you didn’t go alone.
For part of me went with you, the day God called you Home.
RIP my brother!!!!
