d Christian Strength.
Would you, dear darling, thus leave us
Forever, speak not such Il word,
We know you meant not to grive us,
But the angels auto was heard.
daughter,
You could not hide from us at all
For the stars just lit up your pathway,
You got off close to God-that's all.
So we don't feel little bit lonesome
We too know the one who said start,
Some day your home'll be our home,
You'll be glad to teach us part
Of the beautiful lessons they bring you
Some say that the angels up there
Talk true, act true, and sing true
So different from things down here.
So long, Dear Edna, we are kissing
The memories of beautiful days,
And while you've gone, you're not miss
ing
Praise God for His wisdom and ways.
