POEM
One whom we love has fallen asleep We knew his love for God was deep God holds for him a new surprise,
in heaven when he open his eyes. A gentle spirit of spiritual good, A perfect example of Christian manhood He heard Gods call of duty clear And found his mission soon and clear He went his way, but on he trod, The path that led him straight to God. The life he led put death to scorn He kept the faith, hell find God morn. We love you and will miss you we will meet you by and by.
