This gardener had a way
Of helping little seedlings grow
So none would ever stray
John loved his garden
His veggies were his life
It was also somewhere to escape
To watch the wildlife
Think of me next time you stand
Where a veggie garden grows
For there I'll be in sun and earth
And in the wind that blows.

Prayers

Receive Lord, John, in tranquility and peace.
We commend him to you.
Forgive him his sins.
Give him the life that knows no age, the good things that do not
pass away, and accept him with unconditional love into your
kingdom where he may be at peace.

Silence may be kept

Lord, have mercy
Lord, have mercy

Christ, have mercy
Christ, have mercy
Lord, have mercy
Lord, have mercy

May God our Father forgive us our sins and
bring us to the joy of his kingdom, where dust and ashes
have no dominion.

Amen.
