Dear Darell and all, My apologies for not checking that my original poem was not reproduced in full. Here are the missing verses - with apologies again!
Mervyn “He smilingly said, “I’ll come back soon , But we knew not death would call so soon! So soon God’s Summons, So quick the deep sea Did swallow them all, O Destiny, No time to say, goodbye, No time to say , Wait, Death’s cold gatekeeper Had opened the gate! And now that he’s gone we can murmur not, But trust in God for that’s our lot, And trusting in Him who reigns on high We’ll patiently wait till the end draws nigh. Then Daddy and Mummy Soon shall we meet When death has silenced our last heartbeat There shall we meet forever and ever, In Heaven so beautiful, we shall part - No NEVER!
