Sleep Well, Beloved

By Amenity
Sleep well, beloved
Do not be afraid
Your journey has begun
Your memory remains
Your laughter and smile
Your spirit, your mind
Were taken away
This wonderful self
I cannot forsake
Close now your eyes
My free-spirit child
They may take your body
But your heart beats, alive
I know life is tough
People so callous and rough
But with a smile you stood tall
To the end there you were
The bravest of all
So now you can rest
And please have no fear
Sleep well, beloved
I will be right here
All eyes shall be closed
All hearts shall now die
The sun shall burn out
To mourn my sweet child
But do not be troubled
And please have no fear
Sleep well, beloved
I will be right here
