In the night it fell; we were fast asleep. While you silently laid a carpet deep, White gift transforming the bleak landscape. A build up of snowflakes unique in shape, A newborn creation, that we might know. Transcendent Beauty - Oh, the wonder of snow. THE OLD HOUSE WELCOMES THE NEW To watch you grow in beauty thus, br Dear house of dreams come true. br Was my delight though seeming loss - br Now all I yield to you. br In peace I go by you replaced br A sanctuary blest to hold br The precious heirlooms of the past, br The silver turned to gold. br When footsteps gently o'er you tread br And mark the sweet green earth br In deep contentment I shall lie - br A seed to find rebirth, br So grow and flourish day by day br Fulfill high destiny - br The cherished plans, the hopes repay. br Dear house beside the sea br May God be with you, ere I go br Once more I'll gaze on you br A worthy shrine to give God place, br Goodbye, I welcome you! br LIFE - ETERNITY'S MORNING Breath of God - life br Bringing infinite yearning br Boundless as ocean's surge br unsatisfied pain, exquisite, br Strife insistent. br Reaching for peace br Caught in earth's tentacles br Longing for freedom, br Locked in , ice bound br Struggling for light br Beaconed by faith br Upheld in hope br Sighting Tabor's glory - br Eternity's morning!br br Sr.
