“I remember that she told me once, while sitting on her knee
That the angels nover weary watching over her and me:
And if I was only good-Nellie told me so before-
That they’d let us into heaven when they see us at the door.
I shall know no more of sorrow, I shall know no more of sin-
I shall see mamnia and Nelile, for I know they’ll let me in-
But I’ll have to tell the angel when I meet him at the door
That he must excuse my papa, because he couldn’t leave the store.

“I know I shall be happy, and shall always want
to stay- I should like to hear the singing-
I should love the endless day;
I would like to look at Jesus-I’d love him mora and more,
And I’d gather water illles for the angel at the door.
Nellie says that it may be I shall soon be called away-
If papa was only ready I should like to go today:
But if I RO before him to that world of light and Joy.
I guess he’ll want to come to heaven to see his little boy.”
