| The Old Woolen Cross Aged Into Her Nineties Her Mind Was Sharp And Clear Crippled Hands And Almost Blind She Called Me To Come Near "No One Comes To Talk To Me I Sit Alone And Cry I Have So Many Things To Say Before I Have To Die" I Took Her Hand And Said A Prayer And Sang A German Hymn It Touched Her Heart, She Said To Me "Oh Please, Come Back Again" I Would Visit, Time To Time As If I Were Her Son And She Would Sing Along With Me In Her German Tongue She Told Me Of Her Fear And Dread A Time When She Was Young Death, Destruction Everywhere The Time Was World War One When She Would Sing Her Fear Was Gone "I wish To Meet My King And With My Last, Dying Breath Sing Praises Unto Him" She Gave Me An Old Woolen Cross Her Hands Had Made For Me She Said,"Oh Please Remember Me For Soon I'll Pass Across" Then One Day, I Went To Pray My Anna Was Near Gone And With Her Dying Breath She Sang Her Last And Final Song Hanging In My Old Red Van For Everyone To See Is An Old, Woolen Cross My Anna Made For Me |
