who died one year ago. June Is. 1909.
Deares, papa, you have left us,
Left the home you loved so we'll:
But some day we hope to meet thee
And together We shall dwell.
In the graveyard. softly sleeping.
Where the flowers gently wave,
Lies the one we love so gently,
In his cold and silent grave.
How we miss you
Miss YOU more than We can tell;
Every hour and day that passes
Brings US nearer you to dwell.
Friends may think. we soon forget
thee,
And our wounded hearts be healed
But they little know the sorrow
That's within our hearts concealed.
Farewell. alas. our dear. kind papa
Thy form lies cold and still;
Thy death has caused vacant place
This world can never fill.
