"We'll remember you in sunshine
Its rays warming earth and sky
We'll remember you in bird's graceful wings
As they glide and flutter by.
We'll remember you in the summer breeze
And in softly falling rain
We'll remember you in dark storm clouds
The rainbow's picture frame.
We'll remember you in blossoms and fields
And in gentle streams that flow
We'll remember you in all that lives
All that brings life...that grows..."
