GOD'S OWN FUNERAL GARDEN
The rose sends forth its fragrance,
The beauty is sublime;
We see it in its splendor,
In the morn of our springtime.
Kissed by dewy morning,
Caressed by sunset eve;
Sad is its departure,
When it droops and finally leaves.
We miss the wondrous fragrance
And the crimson color rare;
But in God's funeral garden,
'twill be waiting for us there.
No petals there have fallen,
No drooping or drowsy head;
But blooms afresh with fragrance,
In God's own funeral bed.
A pillow made of roses
And shrubs placed at our feet;
In God's own funeral garden,
In the land of blissful sleep.
Family pride and patriotism were hallmarks of his character and he was especially proud to have served his country as a Mess Sargeant in Company F, 139th Infantry in World War I.
