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 bestDorohea K. Barwick
