You Were Good in Your Time

Let the heart rest
Lay back your head
You were good in your time
And we thank youYou made me feel less alone
You made me feel not quite so
Deformed, uninformed and hunchbackedTime takes all breath away
You were good in your time
And we thank you so, soYou said more in one day
Than most people say
In a lifetime, it was our time
And we thank youAn end-of-the-ride sigh
Your soft smile says
Please understand
I must surrenderThen you grip with your hand
Now so small in mine
Are you aware wherever you are
That you have just died?
