Bringing music to the grave to honor my dad’s life. Although, Funerary music was only meant for the departed to assist in crossing over into the world beyond, we shared in this special moment. @joyshannon played a song she wrote titled, “Grey Haven” with lyrics adapted from Tolkien. It was as if the song was meant for my dad and his branch of service in the military.
Beyond the sun and moon Beyond the sea And by a strand there grew a golden tree The golden leaves grew all these years Beyond the sea now full of tears
Too long I’ve dwelt on the other shore In a fading crown twined with golden elanor But what ship would now come to me To bear me across so wide a sea
I sang of leaves and leaves there grew Of wind I sang and the branches blew
Too long I’ve dwelt on the other shore In a fading crown twined with golden elanor But what ship would now come to me To bear me across so wide a sea ~
