The months have passed into a

Since heaven called our

The Holy Dove descended and
carried her up on high,
Whose beauty transcended
The radiance of the sky.
We strive to be light-hearted,
As mother would have us be,
But all the happiness in life,
Is filled with her memory.
It’s not the same old house -
hold,
Since mother went away,
She, who could share each mo¬
ment,
In all our work and play.
But though she’s not beside us,
From noon to eventide,
Her spirit hovers near us,
And it is our gentle guide.
Rest on, oh precious mother
dear, 'so
You walked through life
nobly,
Yes, the very angels paused in
their flight to hear,
Your songs, your prayers so
holy-
And as the years started out
ahead,

brave,
That we may match the one
