A Peaceful Rest Poem by Jayne Louise Davies

They've always said I look like you,
Only, your eyes were green,
And my eyes are blue,
I thought you were invincible,
That you'd be here forever,
Expecting the impossible,
That we would stay together,
And as the years went rolling on,
I saw you fail with age,
And realised we all must go,
To all face death one day,
You lived your life so splendidly,
Faced up to every step,
I'm sad you had to leave me,
I've often sat and wept,
But, there's one thing I know for sure,
You truly were the best,
Enjoyed your life right to the end,
Now peaceful,
Now at rest.
