[Lines written by a son.]
"The flowers that bloom in spring time shall wither in the fall;
Be ready for the parting. It must come to one and all.
If you are only ready, you will have no fear of death,
And with your Heavenly Father you shall find eternal rest.
The roses bloom but briefly; man's life is here the same,
And when we're called from off the earth, tears should not fall like rain
For God shall call us soon to leave from this earthly home we've made,
And in the tomb that's made for us our bodies shall be laid."
