I know but it's just an easier way of thinking
about such a young, beautiful person being plucked
from us so soon. 

It is wrong to claim "Jesus" took the person...

I thought so too.  I looked high and low for the poem
for a guy I work with who's sister died at 23.  My mother
had a collection of poems in a book called Hearts Blessings but
I had packed the book in my basement storage room & could
not find it.  I looked online for the poem but couldn't find it
here either.  I finally found it on a piece of paper which I
had wrote it on years ago and stashed it in another book.

I'm glad I found it again.

 

It's a very nice poem, Arete.

It's the only way to rationalize
a beautiful, sweet, lovely, talented
23 year old girl with lots of hope and
promise for the future being taken
so soon.

It may be wrong but it's a little comforting.

Its sweet.

wrong, but sweet...

Well, I liked it.

 

It's hard to lose the one's we love,
to see them pass away'
The sweetest and the kindest gone,
While other's are left to stay.

But if we had a garden
with roses fair and bright
We'd often pick the loveliest,
and think it to be right.

And so it is with Jesus,
In His heavenly garden here
He often picks the fairest flower,
The one we love so dear.

But the flowers that are picked by HIM
will never fade away;
We know they'll bloom forever
and we'll see them some sweet day.
