Rest Easy Poem by Danny Speicher

Long and rugged path stretches out for miles ahead
Short strides make the horizon seem neverending
Obstacles just beyond each curve, ever bending
So oft wishing to be home, warm and safe, in bed

Heroes are never made behind shrouds of closed eyes
Nor greatness achieved by simply dreaming at night
Well-beaten paths rarely passionate love ignites
And those who do naught but wait fade away and die

Be immovable, never questioning the stand
Don’t let tears fall, smile and forever be strong
Rest easy in Him and the truth behind His song
Look for answers, but know you might not understand

Love freely; express no remorse in its embrace
Even if it devours and painfully scars
And quickly departs leaving deep, defining scars
Even then, know that true love cannot be replaced

Lady, don’t let tears fall and forever be strong
Rest easy, my dear, and find your peace in His song
