Forever In Our Hearts
God looked around his garden and he found an empty place.
Then he looked down upon this earth and saw Marlin’s tired face.
He put his arms around him and lifted him to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.
He knew that Marlin was in pain, he knew that he would never get well again,
So he closed his weary eyelids and whispered, “Peace Be Thine”.
He then took him with him, with hands so gentle and kind,
It broke our hearts to lose him, but he did not go alone,
for part of you went with him the day God called him home.
With deepest sympathy,
