Our Life is "As the Life of a Flower" - a song by Ramsey A. Parker

                                                   "As the life of a flow'r,

                                                   As a breath or a sigh,

                                                   So the years that we live,

                                                   As a dream  hasten by:

                                                  True, today we are here,

                                                  But tomorrow we may see

                                                  Just a grave in the vale,

                                                  And a memory of me.

                                                 As the life of a flow'r

                                                 Be our lives pure and sweet;

                                                 May we brighten the way

                                                 For the friends that we greet;

                                                And sweet incense arise,

                                                From our hearts as we live

                                               Close to Him who doth teach

                                               Us to love  and forgive.

                                               As we tarry below

                                               Let us trust and adore

                                               Him who leads us each day

                                               Toward the rsdiant shore.

                                                Where the sun never sets,

                                                 And the flowers never fade,

                                                 Where no sorrow or death

                                                 May its borders invade."

"AS THE LIFE   -   OF  A  FLOWER...........

AS A BREATH  -  OR A SIGH..........

SO THE YEARS - GLIDE AWAY........

AND ALAS     -      WE MUST DIE."
