    A Little Step Away

    To close the eye, to fall asleep
    To draw a labored breath
    To find release from daily cares
    In what we know as death...

    Is this the crowning of a life,
    The aim or end thereof?
    The totaled sum of consciousness,
    The ripened fruit of love?

    It cannot be, for works of God
    Are wrought for nobler ends,
    And those away continue on
    In the hearts of kin and friends.

    It cannot be, for they live on
    A little step away.
    The soul, the everlasting life,
    Has found a better day....
    -O. J. Hanson

His remains are to be interred at 9 o'clock this (Thursday morning.)
