With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand He has wandered into an unknown land, And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since he lingers there. And you - oh you, whom the wildest yearn For the old-time step and the glad return, Think of him faring on, as dear, In the love of there, as the love of here. Think of him still as the same, I say He is not dead -- he is just away. ABORIGINAL FUNERAL CHAPEL 724 SELKIRK AVE.586-7700
