Living Godly

By C. PELMULDER

C. PELMULDER
WE mourn the death of those whose lives are ending Upon the forefront of the battleground, Boldly the triumphs of the cross extending, And build a monument beside their mound.
Yet ofttimes nobler one has lived in quiet, As wild flowers bloom where silent waters lave, Whose life was only known to those near by it— Now but a slab to mark his lonely grave.
Somehow the life of one sincerely living The Christ life here, ’midst enemies and friends— The life of kindness, charity, and giving— Is missed most sadly when, alas, it ends.
They’re laid away, their life and labors ended, And though upon no stately shaft expressed, Their works with others’ lives have so been blended That these do follow them, although they rest.
