"'ll Poem 'For Mama"
She is not oeao, she is just away; we'll meet again one happy Jay. She hao to get some neeoeo sleep, therefore, we have no neeo to weep. She has gone away to get some rest, how tireJ she was no one can guess. She stole away to 6e at ease, ano left this worlo of oreaJeJ Jisease. She slippeo away from all these trou6les; in this olo worlo, sometimes it oou6les. She hao to go, she coulo not stay;for our Master planneo this thing that way. No, she is not oeao, she is gone home; over there, she will never orift or roam. She has moveo into His loving room; you'll not fino her arouno the earthly tom6. She is gone away. She oio not Jie. Way up a6ove Goo's lofty sky. She hao to Jo the Master's will; He oroereJ her over across the hill.
Sorrowfully Su6mitteJ, your chiloren
