In Memoriom Dennis Kunesh May 7, 1 966-November 1 , 1981 A ' l t ii « I ' ll lend you for a little time o child of Mine, He said; For you ro love the while he lives, and mourn for when he ' s dead. It may be six or seven years or rwenry-rwo or rhree. Bur will you, rill I coll him bock, rake care of him for Me? He ' ll bring his charms ro glodden you, and should his sroy be brief. You ' ll hove his lovely memories OS solace for your grief, I cannot promise he will stay, since oil from eorrh rerurn, Dur rhere ore lessons roughr down rhere I wonr rhis child to learn. I ' ve looked fhis wide world over in my seorch for reochers rrue. And from rhe rhrongs rhar crowd life ' s lones, I hove selected you. Now will you give him all your love, nor rhink rhe lobor voin. Nor hate Me when I come ro coll ro rake him bock again? I fancied rhor I heard rhem soy, Dear Lord, Thy will be done. For all rhe joy Thy child sholl bring, rhe risk of grief we ' ll run. We ' ll love him while we may. And for the hoppiness we ' ve known, forever grateful sroy, Dur should rhe angels coll for him much sooner rhan we ' ve planned. We ' ll brove rhe birrer grief rhor comes and rry ro undersrond. Gods Flower Garden Sometimes we con ' r quire understond Our Great Creoror ' s way. When He rakes o life so young And leaves one wirhered, old and gray. Whose life ' s work seems finished. And perhops is waiting for rhe coll. While rhor life so young and render Held so much here for us oil. Then somerimes I ger ro thinking. Perhaps rhis world down here below, Is jusr Q flower garden. Where God ' s flowers live and grow. And perhops when God is lonely. Like us He likes ro room In His gorden gorhering flowers Jusr ro beautify His home. Though He rakes the full bloom flowers. Drooped and wirhered rhor need His core, Srill He needs a bud or blossom. To scorrer wirh them here and there. So He fakes o few choice blossoms, Jusr rhe rarest He con find. And rhor God needs rhem up in Heoven — Musr comfort loved ones left behind. We, rhe Senior Class of 1985, wish to dedicare rhe Senior Seaion of rhe yearbook ro rhe memory of Dennis Kunesh.
