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

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

  

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
