POEM
When Ive worked down here And have done my best; There is one above Who shall give me rest;
And although I have labored hard; It is he who will give me my reward; Now its time for my stay here to end;
For a willing worker I have been; Grieve not loved ones for my sake; Just pray for God my soul to take.
Betty J. Thomas Written for a Great Aunt
