A Poem written by Jerome H. Froemmling

Come with me, your hand will do,

Give me your heart, life is true.

Look to heaven and you will see

The angel's courts and eternity.

The mirror of life, the word will heal,

Your hands on the plow, for us, are real.

The eternal call, then through the gate,

You finished your days, now stand up straight.

Rewards are waiting for you to take!

Your eternal home, make no mistake.
