What I Want On My Tombstone

An epitaph

I think I?m tired of thinking.

It?s time for a rest, yes time.

I?ll lay me down in a bed of wood.

With a blanket of warm earth to cover me.

I?ll lay a large sod beneath my head.

Wake me when the world is better.

When the sickness called greed has passed.

?Til then let me rest.
