Interlude Poem by Carol Fleming Klein

Interlude



Dear Mother in such sweet repose
We lay you by the rest of those
(The parents gone these many years)
Though now you sleep
We will not tarry here in tears
Nor pause along the way to weep
Your Lord you loved and whole life gave
Hoping those you loved
Might know His power to save

The dimming torch to us you've passed
Through darkness deep it's beam we'll cast
We won't forget the path you've lead;
We will not sleep.
We'll follow in your footsteps just ahead.
Dear Mother in such sweet repose
Your faith and confidence we've chose.
