Godward

Print 🖨

Her star divinely lighted
To shine upon the earth
Was radiant with kindness,
Magnificent with worth.
It never dimmed to duty
Nor let its beam subside
When needed in life’s darkness
To be a loved one’s guide.

Her star’s forever shining.
It’s shining here below
Because each one who knew her
Was given of its glow —-
Our heritage held earthbound
And severed from the source
Which now is lighting Heaven
On its eternal course.
