    God looked around the garden,
    And found an empty space.
    He 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
    For He only takes the best.
    He knew that you were weary,
    and He knew you were in pain.
    He knew that you would never
    be well on earth again.
    He saw the roads were getting rough,
    and the hills were hard to climb.
    So He closed your weary eyelids,
    and whispered peace be thine

    To the family of James Copeland. It is times like these, there is so much we don’t understand, so all that is left is to hold on tight to the One who does. Pray to God for the strength to get through these difficult times. (Psalm 55:22) He will be with you and care for your family. May peace be with all of the Copeland family.
