In Remembrance

In sad but loving remembrance
of Pvt. Junior A Osborne, who
was killed in action, November
81, 1914:
You've been gone a short time,
brother,
But we are still so sad and alone.
If we just could have looked upon
you,
And some flowers could have
strewn.
You were always so good and
kind,
And always ready to help a
friend,
But one day you had to leave us
For some foreign land to fight.
You fought for freedom of our
country,
Maybe others lives you saved
And now your body is safely
resting
In some far-away country's grave
In our home we sadly miss you,
Just to think you'll come no more
But we'll meet you some glad
morning
Where there'll be no more sad
wars.
We cannot forget you, dear broth
er,
We will always see your sweet
smile;
We know you bore it patiently
AS you journeyed off each mile.
Mother and Daddy seem so lone
ly,
For you are missed so much at
home,
You have dropped life's heavy
burdens,
And better place have gone.
Gone where trouble cannot enter.
And flowers forever bloom,
Twas just good night a little
while,
Good morning is coming soon.
Just sleep on, your journeys
ended,
And everything our Lord does
well,
For soon, we'll meet again, dear
brother,
Where We'll never say farewell.

Mrs. William Mullis

THE CELESTIAL PORT

Dear Norris, we're so sad
Our hearts burn with sorrow
AS we think of your death
But there'll be a glad tomorrow.
When our pilgrimage is DER
And we land on that shore
Where no clouds obstruct the
view
There will be no crash, l know.
In that Celestial Port, I'm sure
Because the Lamb is the light
In that port, that shines so bright
You did your best, Norris
You died at your post
AS others have done-my, what a
IN sure, in your plane
You preferred to die
AS you sailed along
Under the obscure sky.
Over the land you fought to save
Over the home of the free and
brave.
You must have felt at home
Because of long time flying
AS amongst the clouds you roam
ed
AS you lay there dying
On that fateful, sad day
When the cistern was broken
And the silver cord lay
In two, at the fountain
We're there no warning taken
AS you approached that noun
tain?
When the last task is done
And the last prayer is said
And the last plane has flown
overhead
When wars shall have ended
And our planes shall have as
cended
To that Celestial Port on high
May we land, to never say good
bye"
! Where the Lamb is the light
i Where no clouds maketh night
At that Port of eternal light.
