Tranquil lakes and flowery meadows Hold us in their mavic spell, Even birds and all the wild-life Seem to have a tale to tell. *** Flowers blooming on the hillside Springing from the fertile sod, Lift their fracrant faces upward Fashioned by the hand of God. So should we in life's short journey Scatter beauty where we go, Love and kindness, joy and laughter In a flood-tide, let them flow. ***
