our darling baby and only child. little
six months ego today. February 4, 1917, from
our late residence. 4i6 18th street southeast.
Just six months ago today
heard the angel Of God say,
Your baby I am going to take away
To keep for you until some other day.
He left US broken hearted.
And all seems so dreary here:
1t does not seem the same at home
As it did when you were mere.
Smiles may meet our faces.
Tears may dim our eyes,
Bat one knows how our hearts have ached
Since our darling baby died.
Loved By all in life and in death also.
