If I should sleep and wake never more, take no thought for me. I will have gone to a place far beyond my pain, I will be at rest and at peace. My life that I have lived has been an adventurous one, I have many joys and few regrets. My sins are my own and I must atone for them, though I hope for forgiveness. I will sleep the sleep of the ages, at rest with what I believe. It is my hope that I shall have left a better world than I came into and that some small part of me shall remain. So If I lay down and wake not, take comfort in that I am at rest. Celebrate my life and mourn it not for in all things I did my best. Live in joy and not in sorrow, for that is what I would like you to do. Give more than you receive, that one day you may be at rest to. So if I should wake no more, know that I am in a far better place. It is my hope you will join me in time and that we can reminisce and catch up for eternity.
