IN MEMORY OF MY PRECIOUS MOTHER--1956

Mother, Dear, I call your name
And seem to feel your loving touch, 
To see the smile upon your face 
And hear the voice I loved so much. 

You seem so near, though far away;
I feel your love so warm and true
And seem again to clasp your hand
And walk familiar paths with you. 

I know you're happy where you are;
You always taught me God is love.
I'll hold the hand which led you through
Until we meet in Heaven above.
