Notes

|
William went into a slump of depression when Nell passed. He wrote a poem to her shortly after her death.
Liberty
By
Mr. William Bobbitt
Perhaps I do not have the right
To love you as I do.
But I am never happy dear
Unless I think of you.
I want you more than I can say
And more than I can write
For you are in my every dream
When I turn out the light.
I treasure every dawn
and when the stars appear
Life is meaningless unless
I know that you are near.
I want to take you in my arms
And hold you close to me,
And never leave the comfort of
Your loving company.
I may not have the right today,
But some day, with the Lord;
We will be with "Him" to stay,
He tells us in His "Holy Word."
