POEM i read at her funeral
*One At Rest'
Think of me as one at rest,
for me you should not weep
I have no pain, no troubled thoughts
for lam 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, 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

Don’t think of her as gone away
Her/His journey’s just begun,
Life holds so many facets
This earth is only one.
Just think of her as resting
From the sorrows and the tears
In a place of warmth and comfort
Where there are no days and years.
Think how she be wishing
That we could know today
How nothing but our sadness
Can really pass away.
And think of her as living
In the hearts of those she/he touched
For nothing loved is ever lost
And she was loved so much.
