"Budded On Earth To Bloom In Heaven"
In Memory of Delbert Pershing Decker
The Brother I Never Knew
(March 28, 1919 to April 2, 1919)
There's a grave on a hilltop in Kentucky.
On the headstone - these words I read:
"Budded On Earth To Bloom In Heaven."
(It's only the body that's dead.)
The first-born of Solomon and Rose Decker -
Delbert's body lies beneath that sod.
He's the infant brother I have never seen.
As Mama said: "Delbert's with God!"
God saves the souls of innocent babies -
And little children's sins He'll pardon.
Budded On Earth ... Now Blooming In Heaven -
He's another Flower To Brighten God's Garden!
