Though we loved him and sorrow greatly, how
little cur grief is when compared with that OF
the mother We visited her home Sunday and
OH how sad aud lonely everything seemed We
have always known him, lived neighbor to him
played with him since our early childhood, and
always found him a kind, loving playmate
Possessing heart as true as steel, he was al
ways kind and obedient to his widowed mother
and was in every res pect grand model of man
hood. We would say to his boy friends: Fol
low his examples"
There's shadow in the old home now,
The place is hushed and still,
There's darling face that's missing.
And place we cannot hlt.
There's a little cot that's empty,
oh miss him. how we will,
For God has sent an angel
And taken home our darling BIZ,
Bill, Bill, twas hard to let you goi
The sunshines gone from out our lives
For oh, we miss you so.
You're with the angels,
So we'll wipe our bitter tears away.
In Gods good time, beyond the skies,
Wei meet you, dear, some day
Life is naught but partings,
And it's hard to bear our grief,
But time, the blessed healer,
Will bring our hearts relief.
We would not call the loved one back
From perfect peace and rest,
Mother, take up life's burdens cheerfully,
God means all for the best.
