When you see me fly away without you

Shadow on the things you know

Feathers fall around you

And show you the way to go

It's over, it's over

 

excerpt from the song "Birds"

by Neil Young

                                                                           

 

 

 

 

God Looked Around His Garden

 

God looked around his garden

And found an empty place,

He then looked down upon the earth

And saw your tired face

He put his arms around you

And lifted you to rest. 

God's garden must be beautiful 

He always takes the best. 

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 were hard to climb.

So he closed your weary eyelids 

And whispered, 'Peace be thine.'

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.
