Finally I Can Rest Poem by Latasha Respess

YEARS AFTER YEARS, TIME AFTER TIME
I STAYED UP UNTIL THE WAKE OF DAWN
THIS EMOTIONALLY AND PHYSICALLY PAIN
I DEVELOPED INSIDE
APPREARING TO MY FAMILY TO GIVE THEM
MY UNCONDITIONAL LOVE WAS SOMETHING I COULD NEVER TO HIDE

YET, I SEEK TO FIND REST, REST IN THAT GREAT PLACE
I KNOW THE BEST
THAT GREAT PLACE WHERE THE MOUNTAINS SITS HIGH
AND THE VALLEY SITS LOW
WITHIN THAT GREAT PLACE THERE IS LOVE
PEACE, HAPPINESS AND JOY
NO MORE SADDNESS FOR MY MADNESS
BUT THERE IS LAUGHTER FOR MY GLADNESS
THERE IS BODILY SEALING FOR MY WOUNDED HEALING

NOW I CAN SAY, TO ALL MY LOVEONES
NO MORE
YEAR AFTER YEARS, TIME AFTER TIME
NO MORE STAYING UP UNTIL THE WAKE OF DAWN
CRYING TEARS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
ABSENT IN MY BODY WAITING TO BE PRESENT WITH THE LORD
MY FLESH IS DEAD
IN THE GRAVE IS WHERE I LAY MY HEAD

DO NOT CRY, FOR IT ONLY FOR A LITTLE WHILE
I'LL BE SEENING YOU SOON AFTER THE WORLD IS DOOM
YET IT WON'T BE THE END
RISING IN THE KINGDOM IS WHERE I SEE MY LIFE TO BEGIN
