In memory of Daisy Jackson Cook,
my beloved daughter, who departed
this life one year ago August "a, 1914.
Thou art gone from my gaze,
Like a beautiful dream,
Yet 1 will not repine.
Ere long we shall meet
In the home that is now thine.
l feel thou art near,
And where e'er l may be
That the spirit of God
Keeps a watch between thee and me.
