This Day in June...Canada Mourns

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

and we bloom like the flowers too

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...

This day we mourn with Moncton 

...and Oregon

This song was sung during the memorial service for David Ross

  

All within me, Praise His Holy Name!

…For He Himself knows our frame; He is mindful that we are but dust. As for man, his days are like grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourishes. When the wind has passed over it, it is no more, And its place acknowledges it no longer.…Ps. 103:14-16
