 | Liftoff Colorful, shimmering spheres, We send you in tearful devotion To fly with the music of always Into the kingdom of hope. Though death tried his best go divide us, Life and love keep the children beside us. Our hearts fly along to the place beyond tears With the colorful, shimmering spheres. Rise gently, you glistening orbs-- You carry a precious freight-- All the love our hearts can command, All the courage and hope that we own. Drift onward, you radiant envoys-- You carry with you much grief, But laughter also, and smiles. You carry the memories of parents You carry the thanks of sad hearts Who relished their child's life For a while, not for long-- Not nearly for lnog enough.... We send you to fly to the sky, To rise like the magical sun-- Tell heaven about our loss Declare it again and forever: Our love for the children lives on.... Shimmering spheres, be released As a symbol of deep celebration Helping us to remember again that we--our children and we-- are together enfolded by Spirit. Though death tried his best go divide us, Life and love keep the children beside us. Our hearts fly along to the place beyond tears With the colorful, shimmering spheres. -------------------------------------------- FOR THE CLOSING CEREMONY OF THE ANNUAL "IN LOVING MEMORY" CONFERENCE FOR PARENTS WITHOUT SURVIVING CHILDREN MAY 27-30, 1999 VIENNA, VA -------------------------------------------- |  | Our Programs Compassionate Friends meets in Paducah every fourth Tuesday 7-9pm and in Mayfield every 2nd Tuesday at 7-9pm at the Senior Center Steering Committee Co-leaders: Carol Kelley Marie Conn WebMaster: Amy Rice
