Gone From My Sight I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other. Then, someone at my side says; "There, she is gone!" "Gone where?" Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and she is just as able to bear her living freight to her destined port. Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says; "There, she is gone!" There are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout; "Here she comes!" And that is dying. Your gentle face and pleasant smile With sadness we recall. You had a kindly word for each and died beloved by all. The voice is mute and stilled the heart that loved us well and true Ah, bitter was the trial to part from one so good as you. You are not forgotten loved one, nor will you ever be. As long as life and memory last, we will remember thee. We miss you now, our hearts are sore, as time goes by we miss you more. Your loving smile, your gentle face, No one can fill your vacant place. LEATHERDALE GARDINER 1501 Waverley Street 949-4860
