Poetry: Rest in peace

by Betty Blake

Created on: November 23, 2011

You have lived more than a full life.

You have managed to touch so many lives.

Your kids, grand-kids and great grand-kids

worshipped and respected you in a huge way.

Oh, what great legacy you have left them!


How many can say they will live to be 100 plus?

Not only that, but you continually enjoyed what

was truly important in life which was family first.

They were your pride and your joy. Come to

think of it, you could still appreciate the taste

and flavor of a good steak with a shot of vodka.


It is so sad to see you go.Thank God, you didn't

suffer. You went abed like any other day; but,

sadly you didn't wake up to see another day. You

know, I saw it coming; but, I hope I was wrong and

you would bounce right back; just like the other day

when you gave us a scare.


But, dear sweet man, you have lived a beautiful life.

Your bloodline will continue through your clan and,

they are quite many. Now is your time to rest in peace.

You have completed your time and work here on earth.

Rest in peace dear sweet man!
