Rest In Peace Tom Poem by BRUCE MARTONE

NOW THE TIME HAS COME TAKING HIM AWAY
AND RELEIVING HIM FROM HIS PAIN
THAT REMAIN MUCH TO LONG MAKING HIM WEAK
AND NOT SO STRONG IS NOW SAID AND DONE
BECAUSE THE GOD HAS WON
TAKING HIM ON HIS NEW JOURNEY
WHILE WE TEAR IN SADNESS AND IN JOY
KNOWING HIS SOUL WILL BE REJOICE
AND THE ONLY THING HE IS SAYING BACK IS A FEW AMEN
TO MY EXWIFE WHO TOOK ME IN
WHEN I WAS GETTING WORST
AND SAW ME THROUGH TO THE BEGINGING AND THE END
[ A VERY SPECIAL AMEN ]
TO MY KIDS AND MY SON WHO FLEW HOME
SO I DIDN'T DIE ALONE IN MY MONTHS, MY WEEKS,
MY FINAL DAYS TO MY FINAL SECONDS [ AMEN TO YOU TO ]
TO MY SISTER WHO SAT WITH ME I KNOW IT WAS TUFF
TO SEE ME THIS WAY FIGHTING BACK YOUR TEARS INSIDE THROUGH THE FINAL DAYS AND MOMENTS OF MY LIFE
[ AMEN TO YOU TO]
AND TO THE REST OF ALL YOU WHO CAME WHO LAUGH,
WHO TEAR, WHO CALL [ AMEN TO YOU ALL]
