"Gone Hunting, Gone Fishing"

Remember the smiles and not the tears,

For all the hunts and all the casts, we shared.

From deer camp's edge to riverbank's calm.

The bowstrings draw and the line's soft pull,

Both taught us patience, peace and trust.

Now you've gone hunting in a better place,

And fishing in the peace of heaven's grace.
