Together
Again
My
children, when you
come to visit
here,
And bring a rose
to lay upon my
stone,
Come not in grief,
don’t shed a
single tear,
Because from you I
have not really
gone.
Be happy in your
heart and look for
me
In every gentle
whisper of the
wind,
For there upon its
wings I’ll
always be,
As memory recalls
a loving friend.
Oh earthly time
how fleeting is
its face,
How rugged is the
road you four must
trod,
But when you reach
the ending of your
race,
You'll live in
peace with Dad and
me, and God.
My darling dears,
remember with a
smile,
And know we'll be
together in a
while.
