Day by day the number lessens,
Year by year they slip away
To the unknown land, far distant
In the realm of endless days.
Some have left us in the morning,
Some at noon time took their flight,
Some at evening’s twilight shadows,
Some in darkness of the night.
We shall miss them ever miss them,
Miss their hand clasps, words of cheer,
Miss their happy smiles of welcome
That we knew when they were here.
But we hold them in sweet memory,
And we know they are not dead,
To the heavenly land eternal
They’ve just slipped away ahead.
