A TRIBUTE TO OUR FATHER
(ALFRED ROSE)
On Father’s Day, June 18

Oh father, mine, the sun may shine,
On foreign sacred shores,
But a shodaw o’er our hearts is cast,
Which faith alone endure,
The sun has gone behind a cloud
To make a silver lining.
When we meet beyond the great divide
Our hearts once more entwining.

The sunshine and the flowers seem gone,
In this life from which you hastened
Red roses bloomed once in our hearts,
To be replaced by white carnations,
But as we need our father dear
So did the Father of us all,
Need his son, whose work is done,
To hasten to his call.

Mother and a brother
And still a grandchild, too,
Were waiting at the pearly gates,
To bid you enter through,
So take the peace and happiness,
Your true kind heart has brought,
And in shower of tears,
There’ll bloom for years,
The true forget-me-not.

Through all our years of childhood
You gave a mother’s care,
In the future strife and sorrow
We’ll miss you everywhere
We miss your ever willing hand
We came so much to hold
We miss the crown of silver curis
And the heart as pure as gold.

Mary Rose Jones
