| Show good bye god bless you the following poem was waa sent to his mother by frank bentley just bat before his death the sentiment contained therein is splendid and shows the thoughts that the leave taking of his mother engendered when he left for silver city last fall I 1 love the words because per hapa hap when I 1 was leaving mother standing at last in solemn pause we looked at one another an othar and 1 I 1 I 1 saw in mother mether e a eyes ayea the love she could not tell me and with love eternal as aa the what ever fate befell me she put her arms around my neck and soothed the pain of leaving and though her heart would like to break she no word of greiving she let no tear bedim her eye for fer fear she might distress me but kissing we me she said good bye and ask our god to bless me |
