IN MEMORY.
I know I must take up my life And live it for his children's sake.If I should faint and falter when My burden heavy on me lies,I feel his soul will stoop to mine And 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 trust That knows no falter nor decay.The love that blossomed sweetly here Has burst into immortal bloom,And I shall find it once again Beyond the darkness of the tomb.
