My dearest child where are you gone
What masquerade have you put on
Among the memories we’ve kept
Or midst the tears that we have wept ?
I’d like to know if God’s been good
And kept you safely as He could
For in your life you did no wrong
There seems no place you can’t belong.
My heart desires that you should know
Though you’re not here I miss you so !
