MEMORIAL

In loving remembrance of our mother, Mrs. F. M. Taylor, who died one year ago, July 29, 1928.

Earth has lost its look of gladness,
heaven seems to be more bright,
Since the spirit of our mother
Took its heavenly flight.

In life we loved her dearly
And in death we do the same.
Dear mother, I often sit and think
Of you and wish you were here again.

But God called, it was His will
But in my heart you linger still,
Your memory is so dear to me
As in the hour you went away.

I think of you dear mother in silence--
No eye can see me weep
But many a silent tear I shed
While others are asleep.

Dear mother, could you speak to us
And live with us again
Our aching hearts then would be eased
But this we wish in vain.

You are gone, Mother, but not forgotten
Never will they memory fade,
sweetest thoughts shall ever linger
Around the grave where you are laid.

Just the crossing of the river,
Just a stepping on the shore;
The the joys of life eternal
All were yours.

For the Master whom we follow
In his word has plainly said,
That you're only sweetly sleeping
Though you're numbered with the dead.

The stars are dimly shining
Upon your new-made grave,
Where you sleep without waking
You were loved but could not save.

Sweet and peaceful be your slumber
Forget you I can never
But God called you home,
He knows best, His will be done forever.

F. M. Taylor, O. L. Taylor, L. S. Taylor, Veda Owens, Dolly Dummit, Velia Stewart, Luvena Martin
