The following was written by Gladys L.H. Stinson on August 21, 1943, composed on the death of Mrs. Bertha Gilreath.
Mother In Heaven
Mother lay down to sleep, as
The Angels called her away;
To go to a Heavenly Home
Where we shall meet her someday.
God, who watches over us
Saw that her life was complete;
And took her home with Him
To rest in a Golden Seat.
There she shall know no sorrow
Or worry, only happiness;
No more hardship or pain, for
There is only tenderness.
While she's sitting on her throne
Always watching over us;
She shall guide us in our thoughts
To what's right and to trust,
In God our Heavenly Father
Who is waiting patiently;
To take us home with Him, so
He can watch us lovingly.
