Crossing the Bar

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;

For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.

To the Smith family
Please accept my condolences on the passing of your father, I will always rembember his bright smile and the times that where shared by our families especially with my uncle Stanley. His bright smile will surely brighten up the heavens. When you see a bright rainbow in the sky that will be his sign that he is still watching over you .
Forever family
