May the good earth be soft under you
when you rest upon it,
and may it rest easy over you when,
at the last, you lay out under it,
And may it rest so lightly over you
that your soul may be out
from under it quickly,
and up, and off,
And be on its way to God

I hope you're dancing in heaven with all the love from those who care so deeply for you wrapped around you like a hug until you see them again
