Epitaph To A Friend

An honest man here lies at rest
As e’er God with His image blest
The friend of man, the friend of truth
The friend of age, and a guide of youth
Few hearts like his, with virtue warmed
Few heads with knowledge so informed
If there’s another world, he lives in bliss
If there is none, he made the best of this
We shared a dream, we laughed and cried
We’ve been through darkness, walked in light
He had a brother fearless mind
When others left, he stood with pride
Let’s raise the glass, put pain aside
Drink up till all the tears have dried
A joyful heart should beat within your chest
Until the day it goes to rest
Let’s raise the glass, put pain aside
Drink up till all the tears have dried
A joyful heart should beat within your chest
Until the day it goes to rest
Until the day we all will go to rest
