Remembrance-
"When I am dead
Cry for me a little
Think of me sometimes
But not too much
Think of me now and again
As I was in life
At some moments it is pleasant to recall
But not for long
Leave me in peace
And I shall leave you in peace
And while you live
Let your thoughts be with the living"
(An Indian Prayer - Traditional)

Thank you, God, for holidays
In the lovely summer days,
For our picnic, for our fun,

And the helpful things we do
make all our families happy too.
