God's Heavenly Garden

Sometimes God picks the flower
that is still in bloom; Sometimes the rosebud's chosen that we feel He's picked too soon. Sometimes the flower is fading with petals floating down, But God knows the perfect time to gather flowers from the ground. There is a heavenly garden in which God takes great pleasure Because He's placed within it. The loved ones that we treasure. He walks among the blossoms giving them eternal rest, and I know that it must please Him because He chose our very best. With Deepest Sympathy
