ok now, Amos...sing along with me: *grin*.(I can't help sort of agreeing with you, and I can't help singing this either, 'cause it sounds so nice on autoharp)... I usually sing it only among adults who have already decided what their view of the universe is, however, so I doubt I mess up anyone's mind.
THE MASTER'S BOUQUET
Death is an angel sent down from above
Sent for the buds of the flowers we love
Truly it's so for in Heaven's own way
Each soul is a flower in the Master's bouquet
cho: Gathering flowers for the Master's bouquet
Beautiful flowers that will never decay
Gathered by angels and carried away
Forever to bloom in the Master's bouquet
Loved ones are passing each day and each hour
Passing away as the life of a flower
But every bud and each blossom some day
Will bloom as a flower in the Master's bouquet
Let us be faithful till life's work is done
Blooming with love till the Reaper shall come
Then we'll be gathered together someday
Transplanted to bloom in the Master's bouquet
