The Life and Death of Hattie Elizabeth Boswell

Something to live for came to the place, 
Something to die for may be;
Something to give even sorrow a grace – 
And yet it was only a baby.

Cooing and laughter and gurgles and cries;
Dimples for tenderest kisses;
Chaos of hope and of raptures and sighs,
Chaos of fears and of blisses

But heaven stopped under the roof on the morn,
That it brought there only a baby.

Just three brief months was this wee, winsome baby spared to her fond and 
loving parents and grandparents.  Three months, yet in that time she had 
brought heaven into the home, hope and happiness into the hearts, she had 
caused them to realize the meaning of the poem in every word – and in its 
fullest sense.

But one fair October morning, an angel came and bore away God’s mid summer gift 
and the loved ones are sorrowing.  May His infinite love and pity keep them and 
bless them in the hour of sore bereavement and loneliness and point them the 
upward way, because “Heaven holds all for which we sigh.”

Linda Lee Bryan
