Laid To Rest

When I have lived my life and I am laid to rest,

I pray that birds, on that day will sing their sweetest melody

and that it would be a sunny day.

I pray that my friends will be there to see me go

as I bid farewell to this world.

I pray that those that I have hurt will come to forgive me,

may they find closure and peace as I am lowered to the earth.

I pray that I will be greeted by my departed loved ones ;

to see those familiar faces once again

To be swallowed into the depths of the earth

to lay, to sleep forevermore.

All this I pray, as I am laid to rest
