faith.

You are gone, Mother, but not forgotten,
Never will your memory fade;
Sweetest thoughts will ever linger around the grave
Where you are laid.
No more will we hear your footsteps,
Nor will we meet you at the door;
You have gone away and left us
Never to return any more.
We miss you Mother,
Oh, how we miss you;
No other one can tell
But we hope to meet you where we'll
Never say, farewell.
No one knows the silent heartaches,
Only those who lost can tell;
Of the grief that we've born in silence
For the one we loved so well.
Dearest Jesus, help us,
Ever Thy blessed Word to keep;
So that we may meet dear Mother,
When at last in death we sleep.


Written by her daughter
Mrs. R. L. Summerlin"
