Sweet By and By

You left us without warning,

that cool January morn.

The family that you left

a daughter and five boys.



We all knew it would happen

it was something we could'nt change

You were in GODS hands

and his plans were already made.



I know we had our difference

we would make each other mad.

And everytime I stomped out,

when I got home I was always sad.



Mom, I have always loved you

sometimes you had your doubt.

But what we had,I'd rather have

than living my life without.



Now that you are in Heaven

for you and dad we all cry,

Remember we will all be together

in that Sweet By and By..

This is a magnificent elegy, and a great testimony of faith in that final reunion---from which we will never part with our loved ones again. This is an excellent poem!
