Poem
Today I lost a battle that for years I tried to fight, now all that’s left is for me to say goodnight. . No longer will I fight this is my destiny, I’m sure my time has come now I know loved ones will miss me. I lay here in this coffin my final resting place, no longer among the living will you ever see my face. Some say that death becomes me because my life was very trying; while they are all standing here at my funeral crying If I could just let them know this for me was best, after all my hardships it is my time to rest. Beaten, battered and bruised is how I lived my life, maybe with my story told I’ll help to lessen someone’s strife. Shed no more tears for me because I am at peace, I see my Savior waiting at last I feel release. Share my story with those that need to hear they’re not alone, before it’s too late for them and their maker brings them home. So many out there need to know that they can leave, all they need to do is trust in themselves and just believe. For all of those who shared my pain while I was still alive, I’ll sit here with my Savior and watch you as you thrive.
