===========================================================
Memorial for Flora Leila Ogden Hodges written in 1919 (newspaper unknown)

Written in memory of Mrs Roy Hodges who asked God's blessing upon
her little son when he was brought to her bedside a short time
before she passed away.

To her dear little son,
So helpless and so fair,
She breathed a mother's prayer;
"God bless you, little one."

Called her home above,
She'll not forget him there,
But to him send God's love,
And with him blessings share.

God looks with tender care
Upon the sorrowing one, 
So helpless with despair;
God's love to him will come.

The days may come and go,
The years he long and lone,
Yet he does love us so;
In time He'll take us home.

This world is not our home, 
We stay here but a day,
God blesses all his own
In Heaven above for aye.

--Mary Martin.  Wayside, Kansas
