EMMA BECKER In Loving Memory of our Mother who passed away a year ago today. She has only gone on a little ahead To fashion a home for me There will be curtains blowing And books as there used to be Pictures, a desk and tables fair Where friends shall love to come She has only gone on as a Mother would To find me a new home She has only gone on as others have Who vanished from our sight Others whose lives with ours were wed Til that mysterious flight None shall declare her death to me My loneliness deplore Oh, it is like her to go ahead To open the new door She has only gone on a little ahead To find me the loveliest place There will be golden roses there Abloom in an azure space Poppies, pansies and daffodils And moss I shall love to tread Oh Mother now it is clear to me You've only gone on ahead. Loved and missed everyday by your family.
