Letting You Sleep

for my loved ones lost

 

 

I want you to sleep in peace now

It took me a long time to understand

A greater length to accept

That you weren’t meant for this physical eternity

I’m hoping you are resting

Beyond that wooden boxes

Beneath the earth and flowers

I’m hoping that you’re smiling

At all of us here below, seeing

That no matter what we love you

I want you to sleep in peace now

I think pretty soon

I’ll be ready for that ‘goodbye’

I couldn’t say those years ago

And those passing weeks from now

Just a bit more time

Then I’ll try my hardest

To let you sleep, my smile with you

Not this condemnation of the past

Just remember, I will always

Love you
