Dedications
Fleetingly known, yet ever remembered
Our special children, now and always:
Those whom we see not, we will forget not
Morning and evening, all of our days.
Lives that touched our lives, tenderly, briefly
Now in the one light living always
Named in our hearts now, safe from all harm now,
We will remember, all of our days.
As we recall them, now silently name them
Open our hearts God, now and always.
Grant to us, grieving, love for the living
Strength for each other, all of our days.
Safe in your peace, God, you hold our children
Grace, light and laughter, grant them each day:
Cherish and hold them, till we may know them,
When in your glory we find our way.
Snowflakes fall so gently,
they have beauty within them.
Each is unique and fragile.
Millions fall unseen,
their beauty ignored.
They gently melt unknown to anyone.
We knew you
and we remember......................
Sometimes love is for a moment
Sometimes love is for a lifetime,
Sometimes a moment is a lifetime.
GATES OF PRAYER
In the rising of the sun
and at its going down,
we remember our babies.
In the blowing of the wind
and on starry nights,
we will remember them.
In the opening of spring buds
and in the warmth of summer,
we remember them.
In the rustling of autumn leaves
and in the chill of winter,
we remember them.
In the beginning of the year
and when it ends,
we remember them.
In dedicating this garden today
in this place,
We remember them.
