M's Poetry
Rest My Dear
When troubles plague and pain erupts
take me oh Lord and lift me up
I want to live I really do
but when I heard terminal a part of me died
I want to say not my spirit
but am I so wrong to not want to go on?
for am I tired....and my bones does ache
take me oh Lord and never forsake
and He said rest my dear....your work is done
you have been faithful and now you will be rewarded
I know all of your thoughts
and your feelings so do I share
when you hurt O child so do I
I know I never promised it would be easy
but I have decided you should rest up high
She expired just past eight
I can just envision her entering those heavenly gates
a smile I can just imagine
she didn't have that many her last days here
but I know without a doubt
her pain is gone and went without fear
she was ready and dear Lord you knew
peacefully you let her leave
she died quietly in her sleep
Lord is that you I hear?
yes it is I know....you are saying at rest my dear....
