One at Rest
Think of me now 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 of 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 no 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.
