Obituary of Brian R. Suominen

God's Garden

 

God saw you getting tired

when a cure was not to be,

so He closed his arms around you

and whispered “Come to Me.”

You do not deserve what you

went through and so he gave you rest.

God’s garden must be beautiful

for He only takes the best.

In time He saw you sinking;

we watched you fade away;

our hearts were almost broken.

You fought so hard to stay.

But when we saw you sleeping

so peacefully from pain,

We could not wish you back

to suffer that again.

If you had spoken before you died

These words you’d have replied,

“Weep not for me but courage take

and love one another for my sake.”
