GOD IS IN CONTROL

Earth has no sorrows that heaven can not heal

Even though right now hurt is what you feel

Memories gain never cease

My prayers is for God to grant you peace

Love and encourage each other along the way

Be real and caring in whatever you do and say

Although our love one has depart

They belonged to God right from the start

Death when it comes is only a forever sleep

Knowing they are going away is why we weep

Have joy in know our soul is for God to keep

Know our loss is Heavens gain

Live you life for Jesus you see them again

Be grateful for the memories through life you compile

Be reminded of their every smile

Be please for time spent all the while

Although the sorrow is hard to bear

Grieve as you will know God is near

Look up to God for strength each day

He'll be with you to carry you all the way

Give your God your life and hold on to His hand

It doesn't matter if you are young or old

Keep God first know He is in Control

Allow him to guide you with purpose for He holds the plan

Live , love, and do have faith to do your best

Trust the Lord to do the rest

They were always one of my favorite group of kids that would always have me laughing and just made the room feel so comforatable because of there personalities.
