God looked down on your body,
So tired from hanging on,
From a life that was overwhelming you,
And wanted back His son.
So he took away the air you breathe,
And gave you what was best,
A place to be at peace,
A final place to rest.

This was a very nice and short poem that got to the point. I like it a lot, b/c I lost my Daddy last year and he was in a lot of pain. Now I know he is resting peacefully in the higher world.
