    There's a shadow in our home now.
    There's a voice that's hushed and still,
    There's a Mother's face that's missing,
    And a place no one can fill.
    How she longed to see her Jesus
    And to clasp him to her breast!
    Farewell, mother, how we miss thee,
    But we know God's ways are best.    "
    The bereft.
