I am a Member of the American Volks Association and have done at least one 10K walk in every state in the USA. Since I have had double knee replacement and open heart surgery I have gotten involved with Findagrave. This gives me exercise and hopefully is helpful to families trying to find their loved ones. I am now 87 years young.

THERE IS A HEAVENLY GARDEN
By Otis Rainwater

Sometimes God picks the flower
That is still in bloom
Sometimes the rosebuds chosen
That we feel He's picked too soon
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 choose our very best.
