Sleep Soft, Dear Friend
You fought hard to stay alive
My friend
But in the end
You could not conquer death
But neither
Did death conquer you

Death cures all diseases
Mends all broken bones
Breaks all chains
It made you free
At last

I shall see beauty
But none to match
Your living Grace

I shall hear music
But none to match
You droning song
With which
You loved me

But I shall not
Can not forget
Your face
Sleep soft
Dear friend
