Poem
From this world ofpain and sorrow, To a world ofpeace and rest. God has taken our loved one, Where he enters eternal rest.
Peacefully sleeping, resting at last. The worlds weary travels and trials are past,
In silence he suffered, in patience he bore, Till God called him home to suffer no more.
