In Memoriam
MY ROSE
My rose is white, your rose is red
Your mother lives but mine is dead.
And looking on your red, red rose,
Which you wear, ah, so happily
I wish some lucky wind that blows
Would bring my mother back to me,
That I might take her hand again
And press it so tenderly.
I would dry the tears and ease the
pain
That in her life she bore for me.
That change is yours, not mine to
night
Your rose is red, but mine is white.
Your rose is red and mine is white
And yet when I kneel down tonight
To say my prayers as shadows creep
“Now I lay me down to sleep”
The same sweet prayer I used to
know
And love in days of long ago
My mother will come back to me
My head will rest upon her knee,
Her hand will soothe my furrowed
brow
And I will know, someway, some
how,
My mother lives, she is not dead
And my white rose will turn to red.
In memory of our mothers:
Mrs. Linda Swank who died
November 10, 1940
Mrs. Louise Shrider who died on
Mother’s Day, May 11, 1940
