Rest Easy, Love

Rest easy, love. With your palms in the grass. Rest easy, love You’re at peace, at last. The birds still chirp in the mornings. The lightning bugs still fly at night. And our eyes will follow the cardinal Every time it takes flight With its red wings Disappearing up into the blue We can't help but know It's taking our messages to you. So hear me when I say With all the love in my heart. In our souls you will stay Till with our bodies, they part. While your voice and face may fade As our minds start to wither Just know nothing can erase you Your memory will always flicker. Don’t listen to our heartache Or any tears that you observe Just the fact we got to know you Was more grace than we deserve. While we wanted you to stay, And God knows I begged and asked To heaven you went away And we could never bring you back. You’re not in pain, love You can run and be free. But whatever you do, love Don’t forget about me.
