Verse The Last Rose

A red petal dropped from the last crimson rose And it seemed that the sky turned to grey As around the old garden the sad whisper went The summer has ended today.

A bird voiced its grief from the gloom of the hedge As the petal fell down on the grass A shuddering sigh shook the tattered old tree With the knowledge that beauty must pass.

But the death of a rose cannot shatter our faith Nature works in mysterious ways For the roses must die to awaken again In the glory of blue summer days.

And so when the summer of living is spent Should we tremble in Autumn’s great breath? If nature insists on decay and rebirth Need we fear the change people call death?

The Lord’s Prayer Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory for ever and ever, Amen

Verse Now Your Home Is Far Away

Now your home is far away A place we cannot take you The place you journey on your own Where friends of old await you

We can’t go there together But you’ll take our love along We’ll softly say our last goodbyes Your memory keeps us strong

But now we slip into the past The times we’ll always treasure The world belonged to you and us To love you was our pleasure

Go with our love and within time We will understand Go with all our blessings Into God’s caring hands.
