When I rest

From the journey
I will rest with the greats
Tell stories
Of triumph and loss

Talk about the old ways
Forgotten
As we laugh
Knowing that we have paid
The final cost

When I rest
I won't bother anyone
For love
Or grief

I won't bring any misery
I won't hurt
There will be peace

I am sure things will go on
Old friends and enemies
Helpers and abusers
All, will forget about me

I will rest
No more heavy load
Problems gone instantly

I will sleep a deep sleep
With all of the greatness once possessed
No more will they lay upon my chest

No more tests

When I rest
