Within this place of love,
sanctuary,
where so much has been
shared
within the scent of lilacs
God’s Spring in the air
We gather to celebrate
your day, the turning page
the journey you have entered
far before old age
We pray together
for love and joy abounding
for years and years unending
for life in its fullness
abundant
The love of Christ pouring
over
your head, your life
anointed
with the precious oil of
God’s love
our hope overflowing
