A Psalm 

For Sarah Beilah 


Praise the Eternal One for the gift of our lives! 

Praise the Eternal One with enduring songs of the past!

Praise the Eternal One for the shaping of lyrics and melody into new songs that celebrate, support, comfort, and challenge!

Praise the Eternal One for the sharing of talents where the blessing is found in the giving and receiving!

Praise the Eternal One for the passing of values and traditions to children and grandchildren, and to the generations yet to come! 

Praise the Eternal One for love that we nurture and grow every day, so that love will continue to grow beyond our time together! 

Praise the Eternal One for the expression of spirit through the touch of the fingers on ivory keys, the touch of hands, and the embrace that engenders connection and hope. 

Praise the Eternal One, who binds our souls together in bonds that are everlasting!

Praise the Eternal One for the gift of our lives!
