Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context Nicholls, JEK Transcribed document A resource consisting primarily of words for reading. Transcription Text transcribed from audio recording or document To a mother. [inserted] X [/inserted] Be not dismayed by what you have heard. His life was freeer [sic] than a bird. As through the sun drenched sky he flew, Winging his way through a sphere of blue He deemed it no disgrace to die, Just dipped his wings and passed us by. Be not afraid youll [sic] never know, How much he loved his mother, you Who with your eyes and heart only for him Guided him, kept him free from all sin. Rejoice sweet lady for only a few, Are granted the honour of joining their Crew. He loved the thing that was his task, His sweet face didnt [sic] need a mask To hide the happiness he felt As his plane gathered speed on the grey asphalt. And we who were standing there, watching him go, Felt prouder in heart than youll [sic] ever know. To us he symbolized all that is brave His personality swept like a wave Sweeping the sorrows of life far away Refreshing and pure as a clear summers day. So dry all your tears, and rejoice in the thought Twas freedom for you and not glory he sought.
