God’s Album
“There is another album,
Filled with leaves of spotless white.
Where no name is ever tarnished,
But forever pure and bright.
In the book of life- God’s album,
May your name be penned with care,
and may all who here have written,
Write their names forever there.”
Your loving daughter Mary Jordan
Remember me when death shall close
My eyelids into sweet repose
And evening breezes gently move
The grass upon your true friends grave

Our lives are alboms writen through
With good or ill, with false

Turns the pages of our lives;

So be a Good girl dear Jennie

Many years have flown,
and in her old arm chair,
Jennie sitting older grown
With silver in her hair.
And there she muses as she
wipes her glasses o’er and o’er
I wonder if my Album
keeps the memory of you.
She turns the pages through
and through, with many
a tear and a kiss.
When suddenly she stops and
says, Who could have written
this. Remember it is
Your friend
