Let the heart rest

lay back your head

you were good in your time

and we thank you

You made me feel less alone

you made me feel not quite so

deformed, uninformed and hunchback

Time takes all breath away

you were good in your time

and we thank you so

You said more in one day

than most people say

in a lifetime, it was our time

and we thank you

An end-of-the-ride sigh

your soft smile says:

"please understand, I must surrender."

Then you grip with your hand

now so small in mine

are you aware wherever you are

that you have just died?
