OUR MARJORIE

OUR MARJORIE. 2 ~
When YOUR wee head lies heavy on dads arm
And eyes with all the goo-goo gone away
Look istless up dad feels wild alarm,
And all the prayers his lips can frame and a.,
All torrent like, speed upward to the throne =
Prayers for your speedy veal, the old swee, ~,
Oh YOU have filled my heart so full my own '1us
And YOU have been here such little whils,
sit and hold your playthings, yes, dol
And sadly think of games used to NAV.
OF how you laughed when we played peeka,boo--
And lust to think, all this was yesterdayl
And now we walk on tiptoe to and fro,
And on our knees drop down beside your eo,
And you-you look with eyes that do not kno.
And your pale brow does fright us, It's sd bo,,
Last night walked with you, my Marjorie.
Casped in my arms your cheek against my az.
And oh, my baby girl sweet soul of me
My heart strings writhed beneath your pla;pt,.
know, my little girl, you wondered why ~
That dad, who held you close, who loves van :.
Could bear to hear your plantive little cry,
And would not ease your pain You can no, w.
You can not know nor guess, what dad would 4.
Two hearts two souls wrapped up in Won, ~,
Oh, give us yesterday and peek-a-boo - w.
If tears could ease the pain your wee limbs a.,
Then had your first cry brought quick relief.
Our ready gushing tears brought back again
The smiles of erst our love engendered grief
Had soothed your fevered brow and eased Won, A..
And now hold your playthngs in my hands
Your rubber doll and cat, your bouncing bali
And something grips my heart with crushing hama.
Until my eyes are blurred, and tear drops can
That dad is so impotent, Marjorie,
Does give him greater grief than he has know,i
All, life and ALL dear child, he'd give for thee
Would God that dad could make your pains hi, o.,
