One at rest
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.
