In Memoriam
- In memory of my mother, Margie Beard Arbogast and my brother,
Dick Arbogast. As your birthday draws near, Mother, I feel you are not alone anymore, Because Dick has gone to join you, Over there on the Golden Shore. Did you hear him coming Mother, When he slipped through the gate? Were you there to greet him, Tho' the hour of night was late? Did you call out to him, Mother, "Son, I am over here. Put your hand in the Savior's, You have naught to fear?" Did you smile and beckon, Mother, And call a glad hello? Can you both see our sorry, When you look down below? He left us so quickly, Mother, We didn't get to say goodbye, But he looked so rested and peaceful, I feel bad to mourn and cry. Will you tell him how we miss him, his footsteps, his voice and sweet smile; Our lives will never be the same, as we walk it mile by mile? Has DIck told you Mother, That we miss you so much; These six years have been lonely, Without your loving face and touch? Will you both watch together, Until the gate opens for me, Then softly call my name, I'll be listening to hear you say "Marie". Marie Arbogast Kramer, Millpoint, W. Va. Ed Note : this must have been written about 1957. Bertie Marie Arbogast Kramer passed away on 19 Mar 2004, the gates open and angels singing loudly.. |
