In Loving Memory of Jim Reeves
Noble, loving, peerless and brave. Too soon he sleeps in a flower strewn grave. Earth's mantle hides him and we weep. Called while life was in its early morn. The days loom dreary and forlorn. Our hearts are sore, our lashes wet. Our pulse beats time with keen regret. But the years will roll through the lathe of time. Some glad tomorrow we'll meet in a fairer clime. R. B., Sherman, Texas.
