Ed. Note: Five months after my Grandma Nicolet went home to be with the Lord and two months before he went home to be with the Lord, my Grandpa Nicolet wrote the following verses which he included in a letter to an acquaintance.
I have been alone with Jesus,
With my head upon His breast,
For I was so very weary
That I wanted there to rest.
Then He bade me stay awhile,
And I found it very precious
In the sunshine of His love.
Shall I tell you what He told me
While I still was waiting there?
For it took away my trouble,
And it took away my care.
Oh! He told me that He loves me
And I was so very happy,
As He looked on me and smiled.
Then He bade me stay awhile,
And I felt it very precious
In the sunshine of His love.
C. Nicolet
