TO OUR MOTHER

We have lost our darling mother; she has bid us all adieu. She has gone to life in Heaven and her form is lost to view. Oh that dear one, how we loved her, Oh how hard to give her up, but an angel came down for her and removed her from our flock. A precious one from us has gone, a voice we loved is tilled, a place is vacant in our home which never can be filled. God in His Wisdom has recalled the boon His love had given and though the body slumbers here, the soul is safe in Heaven.
