“God Saw”

God saw you getting tired, 

When a cure was not to be. 

So He wrapped his arms around you, 

and whispered, “Come to me”. 

You didn’t deserve what you went through, 

So He gave you rest. 

God’s garden must be beautiful, 

He only takes the best 

And when I saw you sleeping, 

So peaceful and free from pain 

I could not wish you back 

To suffer that again.

Viewing for Mr. Brooks will be from 3:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m., Friday, March 22, 2019 at Butler-Stumpff & Dyer Funeral Home. 2103 East Third Street. Services will be held on Saturday, March 23, 2019, at 2:00pm at North Peoria Church of Christ, 2247 North Peoria, Tulsa, Oklahoma.
