“I cannot think of them as dead Who walk with us no more; Along the path of life we tread— They have but gone before. The Father’s house is mansioned fair Beyond our vision dim; All souls are His, and here or there Are living unto Him. But still their silent ministries Within our hearts have place, As when on earth they walked with us And met us face to face. Ours are they by an ownership Nor time nor death can free; For God hath given love to keep Its own eternally.”

“Long ago I was a Sailor.I sailed the Ocean blue.I knew the bars in Singapore. The coastline of Peru.I knew well the sting of salt spray,the taste of Spanish wine,The beauty of the Orient.Yes, all theseThings were mine.But I wear a different hat now, no tie and jacket Too.My sailing days were long ago.With that life I am through. But Somewhere deep inside of meThe sailor lives there still. he longs to go to sea again.But knows he never will.My mind and body are at shore My heart s at sea forever”
