The earth is bright
And hearts are light
And few would know
That years ago,
A grave was made,
And a loved one laid
Away from the sorrowing sight.
For flowers have grown
Where tears were sown
And memories die

And today we pause and erect our

that will swell into one grand chorus
to rise up to the gladdened ears of
those who have gone before.

Nothing will ever come out Of peace

take it for granted that nothing will
