Gates of Prayer

This was sent to me by the staff of Cancer Action, Kansas City. I am missing my mom and dad these days, and this was so nice to receive. It gives me a sort of peace in my heart.

Gates of Prayer from the Reform Judaism Prayerbook

In the rising of the sun and in it's going down,
We remember them;
In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of the winter,
We remember them;
In the opening of the buds and in the warmth of the summer,
We remember them;
When we are lost and sick at heart,
We remember them;
When we have joys to we yearn to share,
We remember them;
So long as we live, they too shall live,
For they are now a part of us,
As we remember them.
