The Ode
The Tide Recedes
The tide recedes but leaves behind bright seashells on the sand . The sun goes down , but gentle warmth still lingers on the land . The music stops , And yet it echoes on in sweet refrains . For every joy that passes , something beautiful remains .
M D Hughes
Those Who Love
It ’ s always those who love the most Who most miss the one they love , When comes the parting of the ways , And clouds loom dark above ;
But tears will pass , your skies will clear Then will you smile again , And comfort find in memories , Which now bring bitter pain .
Unknown
They shall grow not old , as we that are left grow old :
Age shall not weary them , nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them .
Robert Laurence Binyon
Tiny Angel
For brief and fleeting moment , an angel touched the ground ; With tiny wings and halo , and sweet , soft angel sounds .
Blessing the lives of others , in beauty and in grace ; Those who saw the angel , knew God had kissed his tiny face .
The angel came for reasons we may not understand ; A journey brief , with gifts so great , and guided by God ’ s hand .
So , rest now tiny angel , your work on earth is through ; In the beauty of God ’ s perfect love we saw His gift in you .
