This poem was sent to me by my granduncle Gilbert Charles Alexander in the 1970's, it was written by his mother Anna Katherine Henry Alexander. Signed - by Mother and she then added to all God Bless.

Days Gone By
___________

I often think of days gone by
While sitting here alone.
And many are the times I take a good long cry
When there's no one else at home.

I cannot help it, my eyes fill with tears
when I think of the friends who are gone,
and me all alone in my old years,
to journey on all alone.

Just why I was left I cannot tell
Nor why it had to be.
But he who doeth all things well,
will someday call for me.
