About My Father's Business

By Delwin Rees Buckner

DELWIN REES BUCKNER
SHIPS, freighted with their human freight, may come, But, dearest mother, do not look for me; For mine is pressing work where I must be Away from country, boyhood friends, and home.
In life it may be we may clasp no more; But, O, how great our privilege to be Together through the long eternity, Within the mansion on the other shore!
Lives daily — brief as fading summer days — To hopeless graves pass on with hasty feet. It is my duty, mother, then to warn Those whom I can to leave their wicked ways; But — this life parted though we be — how sweet The hope to meet the resurrection morn!
Ambato, Ecuador.
