Life Is Forever, Death Is A Dream
If we did not go to sleep at night We'd never awaken to see the light, And the joy of watching a new day break, Or meeting the dawn by some quiet lake, We would never be out. unless we slept While God and all His angels kept A vigil watch through this "`little death," That's over with the Morning's breath And death, too, is a time of sleeping For those who die are in God's keeping And there's a "`sunrise'' for each soul, For life not Death is God's promised goal So trust God's promise and doubt Him never For only through death - Can Man Live Forever.

** ACKNOWLEDGEMENT "**
Perhaps you sent a lovely card or sat quietly ina chair. Perhaps you sent a floral piece, if so we saw it there. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words, as any friend could say, Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day. Whatever you did to console our hearts, we all would like to say ""THANK YOU."
