Those we love must someday pass Beyond our present sight...
Must leave us and the world we know Without their radiant light.
But we know that like a candle Their lovely light will shine To brighten up another place More perfect.... more divine. And in the realm of Heaven
Where they shine so warm and bright, Our loved ones live forevermore In God's eternal light.

fJJie Psa[m ofLife
Tell me not mournful number, life is but an empty dream And the soul is dead that slumbers and things are not what they seem.
Life is real, Life is earnest and the grave is not its goal. Dust thou art, to dust returnest was not spoken of the soul. Not enjoyment and nor sorrow is our destined end or way. But to act that each tomorrow finds us further than today. Lives of great men all remind us we can make our lives sublime. And departing leaves behind us, footprints on the sands of time. Footprints that perhaps another, sailing o'er lives solumn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother seeing may take heart again. So let us then be up and doing, with a heart for any fate. Still achieving, still pursuing, learn to labor and to wait.
