But still the vacant chair recalls the love, the voice, the smile of the one who once sat there. A sweet little flower, nipped in the bud, no grief or sorrow knew; just came to earth to win our love and then to Heaven withdrew. And while you lie in peaceful sleep, your memory we shall always keep. May the winds of love blow softly and whisper so you'll hear; we will always love and miss you and wish that you were here. And have you gone, forever gone and left us here to weep. Till we are called to follow you, and in the grave to sleep; yet since you could no longer stay to cheer us with your love, we hope to meet with you again in the bright world above.
