The widower looke on his lady love And sorrow was too deep for tears. His
thoughts were all with her bove; His hopes were all in future years. But when
her children came to his view his grief burst into a flood. He took up life to
live anew, For these, his children were her life Patiently she bore her
suffering, Thanking God for blessings given; And we know that she is resting
Where no earthly ties are riven. Day by day she faded from us, And all earthly
help seemed vain; So we left it all with Jesus, For He cares for every pain. But
we would not by our sighing Bring her back to life and pain' For we know that in
our losing, (the rest is missing) Submitted by Barb Conrad
