Peace will be yours
October 11, 2010
Rest as death comes do not fear what you see
you’ve suffered enough
I’ve never seen any one so weak
be so tough
No medicine for you
No funeral either
Nothing but the expeditious fire
You have gone to the extremes to burden no one
Although you do not know that many would
have served you with honor
You would have broken your neck on any given day for us
but would not even take the money for a bus
Stubborn and strong till you were done
Away you go with all task complete
You made your departure thorough
Hardly a thing to do for us
an amazing warrior
Though you lost the battle your fight was tremendous
you tried any thing and every thing to live
and would endure pain to be able to give
Peace will be yours.
