A LIVING MEMORY

I thank you God for this amazing day
Plant a tree for me I say
God looks upon the heart you see
What better - than a tree

So plant a tree so tall and straight
It almost reaches the heavenly gate
A living memory of me will be
A breathing swaying growing tree

A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts its leafy arms to pray
So place my ashes here for me
That I can live within this tree

Then once again I'll soar up high
And join you God up in the sky
What better place for me to be
A breathing swaying growing tree.

THOUGHTS BEHIND THIS CONCEPT:
• A resting place near loved ones
• Unsafe visiting a cemetery nowadays
• Convenient for the whole family to view the tree
• Ashes buried 1 meter, deep enough not to be tampered with
• Lovely idea for children
• Jesus is the Tree of Life whose foundation is solid and we are the branches
• He is the Vine and we are the branch, let the light shine!

Bread feeds the body indeed, but the flowers also feed the soul.
