A Poem for You

  Phil Anthony Dotson
April 20, 1963 -  July 11, 1985

Gods Little Garden

God looked around His Garden,
and saw an empty place.
He then looked down upon the earth,
and saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
and whispered come to Me.

With tearful eyes we watched
you suffer and saw you fade away.
Although we love you,
we couldn’t make you stay.
He put His arms around you
and lifted you to rest.

God's Garden must be beautiful,
He takes the very best.
He knew that you were hurting,
The pain was here to stay.
 He saw the road was getting rough
and the hills were hard to climb.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
but you didn’t go alone,
for part of us went with you,
the day God called you home.
