That part of life misunderstood, Too often feared or cursed or blamed: The simple silence, quiet good, Of Time's eternal flame. Yet this we know and this we pray, Still comes the ancient trial, And oft be met with great dismay, So seldom with a smile. T Help us, O Lord, to know Your plan, The happiness replacing breath, So we might better understand That part of life called death. IN MEMORY . . . of Kenneth Lapka, a fourteen-year- old Buchser cross country runner who died at a Stanford meet on October 18, 1962. This poem is also dedicated to Michal Ray and Glen Snode, grad- uates of 1962 who- were killed in auto accidents this year. May death bring them the happi- ness which life had such little time to offer.
