Poetry from the Generations 

In Memoriam
by Velma M. Carlson

In memory of her dear father, George F. McGraw
who died on August 26, 1928

On August 26^th ten years ago
He died,
And with him went a part of the
Blue
Out of the august sky.
I dream of him – Oh! So often;
When I awake.  I feel so sad.
I miss him so, and cherish
Thoughts
Of my dear beloved dad
I loved you so, dear Dad.
I couldn’t love you more,
And I know you’ll wait for me
On that great eternal shore.
Your life’s work here is ended.
So, dear Dad, “Rest in Peace”
Until the roll is called up yonder
And this life on earth shall
Cease.
