William Dooley Memoriam

In Loving Memory of William R. DOOLEY 02-25-1938 08-10-2009
IN 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 only 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 getting rough
and the hills were hard to climb.
So He closed your weary eye lids
and whispered, "Peace be thine."
It broke our hearts to lose you
but you didn't go alone.
Part of us went with you
the day God took you home.
If tears could build a stairway
and heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk a path to Heaven
to be with you again.
