BARUCH, ELUvEY v. In memory OF
our dear mother, ELUVEY v. BARUCH,
who departed this life one year ago today,
December 3, 1914.
God gave US a wonderful mother,
One Of the worlds best.
Today is the day Of remembrance
And many sad regrets,
A day we shall all remember
When the rest Of the world forgets.
Some may think We have forgotten.
When at times they see US smile;
But little do they dream the heartaches
That the smile hides all the while.
You suffered hours, yes. hours Of pain,
To wait for cure, but all In vain;
Until God alone knew what was best
And called you home to eternal rest.
We didn't know the sorrow to be left alone
Till God sent messenger to our home;
'Tis sad when He calls for one or the other,
But the saddest Of all Is when God calls q
mother.
DEvoTED CHILDREN, MARY AND vIR.
