Rest in Eternity
He’s had a long life
Full of strife and worries
Things that make a life
Not long enough
Not good or evil
Just life, being life

He’s loved and lost
He’s loved and won
He’s tried, he’s failed
Not every time
Not most of the time
To us he’s hailed

Father of some
And to some a son
A brother to many
A man of his time
A minstrel of rhyme
Now rest in eternity
