There Is No Death

There is no night without dawning, no winter without spring, And beyond death’s dark horizon Poor hearts once more will sing, For those who leave us for a while have only gone away Out of a restless, careworn world into a brighter day Where there will be no partings and time is not counted by years

Where there are no trials or troubles no worries, no cares and no tears

~~~~~~~~~~~~ Memorials in memory of Bert may be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Saskatchewan or to the Royal Canadian Legion Poppy Fund ~~~~~~~~~~~~
