JERALD DEAN ALBRECHT

(Verses written by Mrs. Tillie Holliday and Miss Opal Albrecht in memory of Jerald Dean Albrecht, son of Mr. and Mrs. Willard Albrecht, Murdock, Kansas, who was born and also passed away on March 22, 1943.)

Early Monday morning
Angels came without warning
And plucked the little rosebud
That to us had been so blessed.

Our precious little Jerald Dean
All the world to us did mean.
But God needed him in Heaven,
Calling him at almost seven.

God's garden was incomplete
Without this rosebud bright and sweet
So now he's waiting there for us
To join him in his blessedness.

When our work on earth is done
And our battles here are won,
We'll join our precious little son.
May God's righteous will be done.
