GOD SAW YOU GETTING TIRED
God saw you getting tired
When a cure was not to be.
So he wrapped His arms around you,
And whispered, “Come unto me”.
You didn’t deserve what you went through,
And so He gave you rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best.
So when I saw you sleeping,
So peaceful and free from pain.
I could not wish you to come back,
To suffer that all again.

CROSSING OVER
Please don’t feel guilty
It was just my time to go.
I see you are still feeling sad,
And the tears just seem to flow.
We all come to earth for our lifetime,
And for some, it’s not so many years.
I don’t want you to keep crying,
You are shedding to many tears.
I haven’t really left you
Even though it may seem so,
I have just gone to my heavenly home,
And I’m closer to you than you know.
Just believe that when you say
My name, I’m standing next to you,
I know you long to see me,
But there’s nothing I can do.
But I’ll still send you messages
And hope you understand,
That when your time comes to “cross over”,
I’ll be there to take your hand.
