Kohl veteran of World War II who
lost his life in action June 8, 1914
in Normany, France:
God knew all about it
How noble, how gentle he was and

How brilliant his possible future
Yet sent him to sleep in his grave
God knew all about those who
loved him
How bitter their trial would be
But thru it all He is loving
And knows so much better than we
