Goodnight my love

By: Caleb Kestner

Goodnight my love it’s time to sleep

and leave the world behind

To free yourself from all life’s pain

and clear your burdened mind

Goodnight my love it’s time to sleep

and rest forevermore

To fly beyond the gleaming stars

and dance on heaven’s floor

Goodnight my love it’s time to sleep

the angels wait for you

You’ll never be forgotten

for the life you lived was true

Goodnight my love it’s time to sleep

your work at last is done

And though the day is finished

the dream is just begun

I wrote this poem because one of my teachers mother died. My own mom had lost
a mother and a sister a few years back and it had hit her really hard. I wrote it for
both of them and for anyone that has ever lost anyone.
