Asleep in Jesus to wake no more.

Two little feet laid down to rest.
Two little hands crossed on the

Two little eyes so slumberly closed,
Which God wakes to weep nc

Dear little Leola, she has left us.
Left us. yes. forevermore.
But we hope to meet our loved one
On the happy golden shore.

A voice we loved is still,
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filed.
