We know 'he is in Heaven One of that happy band Awaiting with the angels To grasp our helpless hand. ~ To-day we are most lonely Without our father dear, Who leaves behind his loved ones, To mourn his absence here, And though we feel most lonely Without our absent father, We ask that God will bless us Until life's journey's o'er. --From Wife.
