Marsh Marigolds

(from Fields of Grace)

 

 

 

 

 

                                  A life spent high

                                    above the forest floor

                                    offers itself

                                    to future generations,

                                    its task completed.

 

                                 Its passing marked

                                    by golden voices

                                    raised in songs

                                    of praise and

                                    thanksgiving

                                    to the Author of Life.
