Coc(d Knows'Best
God saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb.
He gently closed those loving eyes,
And whispered, "Peace be Thine!"
The weary hours and days of pain;
The sleepless nights are passed,
The ever patient, worn-out frame,
Has found sweet rest at last.
God saw that I was getting weary,
So He did what He knows best.
He came and stood beside me,
And whispered, "Come and Rest."
I bade no one a last farewell,
Not even a good-bye.
I was gone before you knew it,
Any only God knows why.
I'll sleep on, too, Dear Family I Love,
For I have gone to take my rest.
I know you loved me,
But God loved me best.v'
We thought of you with love today,
'But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday,
Andithe days before that too.
We think of you in silence,
We often speak your name.
Now all we have are memories,
Andtlyour picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake,
With which we'LLnever part.
goe has you inl-iis keeping,
We have you in our heart.
With Love From Our Hearts,
