One at Rest

Think of me as one at rest,

for me you should not weep

I have no pain no troubled thoughts

for I am just asleep

The living thinking me that was,

is now forever still

And life goes on without me now,

as time forever will.

If your heart is heavy now

because I've gone away

Dwell not long upon it friend

For none of us can stay

Those of you who liked me,

I sincerely thank you all

And those of you who loved me,

I thank you most of all.

And in my fleeting lifespan,

as time went rushing by

I found some time to hesitate,

to laugh, to love, to cry

Matters it now if time began

If time will ever cease?

I was here, I used it all,

and now I am at peace.


	Full List of Readings

Funeral reading “Remember Me” Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay. Remember me when no more day by day You tell me of our future that you planned: Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember; do not grieve: For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad. Christina Rossetti

		popular funeral reading “Remember Me”.


	GRANDMOTHER The bright needles clicked the old woman’s hands quick, dextrous and expert were a blur of colour “Your new gloves are finished” she eased them on to my short plump fingers “Now you can play in the snow” I ran into the street, excited the gloves soft, warm, dry were a magical source of safety and love. Time drew on my winters grew colder the snow fell thicker today my gloves are faded and threadbare. Her needles are silent and my hands are cold.
