Larry R. Jewart Jr.

In loving memory of my beloved son, Larry R. Jewart Jr., who passed away one year ago today.

His farewell kiss was never given,

His last goodbye was never said,

For none could know that death lay waiting

For him when he went to bed.

And though our grief was sharp and lasting

We thanked God then and do today,

That by Our Father’s love and boundless mercy

In painless sleep he passed away.

Do not ask if I miss him

There is such a vacant place,

Often I think I hear his footsteps

And see his smiling face.

Days of sadness still comes over me,

Tears of silence often flow,

Memory keeps him near to me,

Though he left one year ago.
