POEM
You bade us a last farewell You said goodbye to some The heavenly gates just opened wide And the "Master" softly said "Come f He knew you were tired and the hills were hard to climb He gently closed your weary eyes,
and whispered "PEACEBE THINE" It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn t go alone. For part of us went with you, when God called you home.
