TO FOUR MOTHERS by ETHEL LOVE DUNHAM

First Line: GOD BLESS YOU, PARENTS OF YOUNG LIVES GONE
Last Line: IN GOD'S GREAT, WIDE INFINITY YOU ALL SHALL MEET AGAIN.
Subject(s): PARENTS; PARENTHOOD;
God bless you, parents of young lives gone on their way;
Above the dark of night a golden light sheds its clear ray.

As through an open door they left, so shall they meet you
On a far horizon; with smiles for tears they'll greet you.

Four fair youths gone; there's One who can assuage your pain --
In God's great, wide Infinity you all shall meet again.
