Richard Schnap- A Poem

REQUIESCAT IN PACE

I am the wind
To whisper a soft lullaby
So that you may sleep in soft comfort

I am the rain
To nurture the grass above you
So that your bed will never be bare

I am the cat
To chase away the ghosts
So that your spirit will know no evil

I am the sun
To shine with an unfailing light
So that no shadow will darken your dreams

I am the stars
To illuminate the immortal sky
So that you will never be left alone

And I am the moon
To engrave your story on my surface
So that you will always be remembered
