IN MEMORY.
I know I must take up my lifeAnd live it for his children's sake.If I should faint and falter whenMy burden heavy on me lies,I feel his soul will stoop to mineAnd bring me courage from the skies.
God blessed and God bereft my life,He gave, and then He took away;But I will trust Him with a trustThat knows no falter nor decay.The love that blossomed sweetly hereHas burst into immortal bloom,And I shall find it once againBeyond the darkness of the tomb.
