In Memoriam for Thomas Bennington

In loving memory of my father Thomas Bennington who departed this life one year ago today December 7 1945 Your working hands are folded gently across your breast On earth they were so busy Now they take their rest Alone in the graveyard you are sleeping Berath the soil and dew But as long as life and memory last all always think of you You suff long and patiently But God alone knows best And took you from a world of woe to one of peace and rest My heart still aches with sadness Your face in memory I shall see And when life's work on earth is ended I hope to be at rest with thee Son Harry Bennington
