Eulogy

There are new flowers in the garden fresh from the black earth where last years have gone Don't ever let your soft hearts harden The darkest night holds the promise of dawn The show must go on it's an unending song winter springs herself to summer then summer falls into winters arms and all the green he's taken from her he will return when he grows warm there's no cause for alarm they bring each other no harm Dry your eyes pick up your shovel plant love and memories in the ground feed the earth, and till the soil and gently lay your sorrow down Look with love upon your children thank God for each and every day be kind and true, and always willing to help each soul along the way to hear each word they have to say and dance to the music that they play There are new flowers in the garden fresh from the black earth and warmed by the sun don't ever let your soft hearts harden leave plenty room for everyone perhaps a little more for some Let life's will be done Dry your eyes pick up your shovel lay love and memories in the ground feed the earth and plow the soil then gently lay your sorrow down
