Edith and Elsie Bontrager REMEMBRANCE It’s been a year, it seems like two but sis, I still remember you. I remember all the little things your little dolls, fake diamond rings, the little house I built for you and all your little playmates too, your visits to the doctor sis, your charming smile and gentle kiss. Yes. I remember all those things and all those things that memories bring of memories when you used to sing. That little house I built you dear is getting old without you there. The kids don't play there anymore no one comes to sweep the floor so weeds are growing round the door. Ah! you’ve spent a year in heaven dear how does it feel with God so near, what is it like beyond the shore where there is death and tears no more? When God returns to earth for me I’ll meet you in eternity. Ted Gillem To Mother and Dad. In loving memory of my little sister who went to be with Jesus a year ago.
