You are not forgotten, father dear,
Nor will you ever be,
For long as life and memory last
We will remember thee.
Angels of God that guard us
Descended from heaven above,
Took from our midst our father
Who we so treasured and loved.
Oh, may we meet in heaven,
Where loved ones no more weep,
For those who die trusting in Jesus
Their death is only sleep.
~ By his children,
Roderick and Fannie
