A Special Poem Humbly Submitted by Your Sister, Fruiti The tide recedes, but leaves behind soft seashells in the sand, the sun goes down, but gentle warmth still lingers on the land. The music stops, yet it echoes on in sweet refrains. For every joy that passes, something beautiful remains. (author unknown) Chapel Lawn 885-9715
