When The Ship Sails
When this ship sails from
this world to the next
I will find peace as I watch
what once was but is no
longer fade into the yesterdays
of life.
I will step on board and such
a feeling of contentment will
wash over me.
I know I will be sailing to a far
better place than the one I'm
leaving.
Loved ones will bid me farewell
for just a while.
Friends will wish me well as
they close the casket of a life
that lives no more.
We will meet once again.
Well it's time for me to go toward
the light of a new life and a new
horizon of a world beyond this one.
Don't be sad for I'm not.
I'm at peace now and my pain has stopped.
My spirit will not suffer any longer for it
if free at last.

10 years...5 years longer than they gave her.
She is at peace now.
