(My Grandfather was a camping and outing buddy of Indiana's own Hoosier poet, James Whitcomb Riley, so if there are similarities of style, I can understand) "A FAMILY MEETING" We are all we have Father Mother Sisters Brother Each chair is filled, we're all at home Tonight let no cold stranger come It is not often, thus around Our old familiar hearth were found So bless then the meeting and the spot For once let every care be forgot Let gentle peace assert here forever And kind affection rule the hour For we're all here. Even they, the dead, though dead, so dear Fond memories to their duty true Bring back their faded form to view How life through the mist of years We now see them as in time long past >From each to each, kind looks we cast We hear their words, their smiles behold They're round us, as they were of old This may not long of us be said For soon we too, must join the gathered dead Then by some other hearth, we shall sit around Oh, the that wisdom may we know Which yields a life of peace below So in this world to follow this And each repeat these words of bliss Bless God, we're all here---all here By Joseph Edgar HARRIS" " OBITUARY" "Joseph W.
