This is the poem that was in my dads funeral program it brings to me to tears of joy and sadness

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 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 wer hard to climb,
so he closed your weary eyelids
and whispered "Peace Be Thine."

It broke our hearts to lose,
but you did not go alone....
For part of us went with you
the day called you home.

Im not sure how the author is but it is helpful to remember that God brought to where he is not suffering anymore, but it's still painful, it's hard to be happy that he isnt suffering anymore when you miss them sooooo much and there was sooo much left to say.
