One at Rest
(Author Unknown)
Think of me as one at rest
for me you should not weep
I have no pain no troubled thoughts
for I am just asleep.
The living thinking me that was
is now forever still
And life goes on without me now
as time forever will.
If your heart is heavy now
because I've gone away
Dwell not long upon it friend
For none of us can stay.
Those of you who liked me
I sincerely thank you all
And those of you who loved me
I thank you most of all.
And in my fleeting lifespan
as time went rushing by
I found some time to hesitate
to laugh, to love, to cry.
Matters it now if time began
If time will ever cease?
I was here, I used it all
and now I am at peace.
