LISTED BELOW ARE TWO POEMS THAT WE HOPE YOU ENJOY.
 
                                      I'll lend for you a little while a child of mine; He said.
                                            For you to love the while she lives, & mourn for when
she's dead.
                                     It may be six or seven years, or twenty two or three,
                                   But will you, till I call her back, take care of her for me.
                                                     She'll bring her charms to gladden you, and shall her stay be brief,
                                                You'll have her lovely memories as solace for your grief.
                                                  I cannot promise she will stay, since all from earth return.
                                                       But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.
                                                  I've looked the wide world over in my search for teachers true.
                                                    And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes I have selected you.
                                                   Now will you give her all your love, nor think the labor vain,
                                              Nor hate me when I come to call to take her back again?
                                             I fancied that I heard them say: Lord, Thy will be done!
                                                 For the joy Thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we'll run.
                                                  We'll shelter her with tenderness, we'll love her while we may,
                                               And for the happiness we've known forever grateful stay;
                                              But shall the angels call for her much sooner than we've planned
                                                   We'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.
 
A poem written by Edgar Guest
 
 
                    HEAVEN
 
                                  About the place where I now live,
                                 There is so much I have to tell.
                                It is calm and peaceful here,
                                God reigns supreme and all is well
                                    I am with loved ones and with friends,
                                        Who settled here some time ago,
                                        And all the joys I with them share,
                                        I'm sure you will be glad to know.
                                        We have no racial problems here.
                                        No one is lonely or alone.
                                        And how I wish that you could see,
                                        The stately mansion that I own.
                                        There is no sickness, grief or death
                                        To mar the beauty of this place.
                                        And lights that are brighter than the sun,
                                        Shine from the Blessed Master's face.
                                        So do not grieve for me, my dears
                                        But rather when you kneel to pray,
                                        Thank God for my arrival home.
                                        Where free from pain I am today.
                                        Keep Christmas and the birthdays, too,
                                        That to us all were very dear,
                                        With love to keep your memories 'gree,
                                        As I shall always keep them here.
                                        The time has come for me to close,
                                        And there isn't much more I can say,
                                        Except don't think of me as gone;
                                        I'm only a prayer away.
