When My Time Has Come <br /> <br />When my time has come and I am lying, <br />In a quite place of rest, <br />Do not grieve for me, it was Gods' will, <br />I have passed my final test. <br /> <br />Shed no tears at my grave, <br />I am no longer there, <br />My debt on earth has been paid, <br />I am now in Gods' care. <br /> <br />Do not in saddness dwell, <br />For I have passed away, <br />Rejoice in all the memories, <br />That were made with everyday. <br /> <br />Someday you may visit, <br />My grave and feel alone, <br />And my spirit will be sitting, <br />Upon my granite stone. <br /> <br />Even though you want see me, <br />You can hear me softly say, <br />Let not your heart be saddened, <br />For I am with you everyday. <br /> <br />I am in your mind, <br />Deep within your heart, <br />Always keep my memory, <br />And we will never part. <br /> <br />Someday in the future, <br />Only God will know when, <br />We will meet in Heaven, <br />And be together again. <br /> <br />By Richard Netherland Cook<br /><br />Richard Netherland Cook<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-my-time-has-come-2/
