Inc SnOeS we tied on the BACK OF the carriage
The many wishes for a happy marriage?
Remember mother in the window in her olt
rocking chair,
Her sewing basket standing beside her there.
Her hands busy all the day through.
But never too busy to do something for You?
Remember Christmas and the candy canes;
Books and dolls and lots OF games;
The table groaning beneath its weight;
Guests driving through the open gate;
The beautiful glittering Christmas tree:
The story Of Jesus they read to me?
Remember when death knocked at the door.
| And how lonely we were to see them no more;
The vacant chair. the empty bed.
The smiling face, the dear bowed head?
Here in Gods Acre they rest serene
Amid the cool shadows and grass so green
Well return again soon to visit you. dears,
And dream Of the happy .by-gone years.
