Rest Peacefully

Posted in Thoughts

Last night, a friend, wife, mother, and daughter left this world behind. She said goodbye to pain and suffering. She is finally able to rest peacefully after a 7-year battle with cancer. It is with a grieving heart that we say goodbye, but we are glad that your suffering has ended.

I Am Weary Let Me Rest
by The Cox Family

Kiss me mother kiss your darlin’
Lay my head upon your breast
Throw your loving arms around me
I am weary let me rest

Seems the light is swiftly fading
Brighter scenes they do now show
I am standing by the river
Angels wait to take me home

Kiss me mother kiss your darlin’
See the pain upon my brow
While I’ll soon be with the angels
Fate has doomed my future now

Through the years you’ve always loved me
And my life you’ve tried to save
But now I shall slumber sweetly
In a deep and lonely grave

Kiss me mother kiss your darlin’
Lay my head upon your breast
Throw your loving arms around me
I am weary let me rest
I am weary let me rest

    What a beautiful, heart-wrenching song. Thinking of you as you grieve for your friend.
