TO MY MOTHER IN HEAVEN
I know a Uttle lady whose
voice was soft and low, her face
was like a picture, a dream of-
long ago that guides a kindly
heart Her life was a living ser-
mon of hope' and gentle act. She
was patient pure and happy in
lighting others days. Her Ups
were ever ready to comfort and
to praise, er soul’s a gream of
sunshine, a rainbow In life's
shower, her presdhcc was like a
garden of ever-blooming flowers
which time can never wither,
shall bloom around her memory
and twine love’s garlands there..
