This day sprawling beneath June skies
extends a transient paradise
where we dream dreams with dreamy eyes
and wish our wishes, wanton, wise
This day flows like a river, blue
above earth’s gold-green avenue
where blossoms bloom in sundry hue
This day of hello and goodbye
sprawls languidly beneath June sky
where some will live while others die
but death will come for you and I
This day is like a gift from God
a gem of Time where breezes nod
and skim this place of green-laced sod
where June seems nearly heaven-shod
This day is like a stepping-stone
carved from the grace of God alone
leading from earth to Heaven's throne
God, help us cherish every one
Janet Martin
In our hearts and prayers, we hold them...
In our hearts and prayers, we hold them...
This song was sung during the memorial service for David Ross
