IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory of our dear boy,
Ralph Austin Moore, who passed away
May 9Th, 1928:
May days once more are here,
To us the saddest of the year,
For Oh! what memories they bring,
OF a loved one gone to rest,
And those who think of him today
Are those who loved him best.
No, not cold beneath the grasses.
Not close walled within the tomb;
Rather, in my Fathers Mansion,
LIVING in another room.
Living, like the One who loves us,
Like a child with cheeks abloom,
Out of sight, at desk or school-book,
BUSY in another room.
Nearer than a son whom fortune
Beckons where the strange lands loom
Just behind the hanging curtain,
SERVING in another room.
Shall doubt my Fathers mercy.
Shall think of death as doom,
Or the stepping Ger the threshold
To a bigger. brighter room?
Shall blame my Fathers wisdom?
Shall I sit enswathed in gloom,
When I know my love is happy,
WAITING in another room?
1tp Father, Mother and Brother
