Mindy Gaye Wedel

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 picks the best...
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.
