When My Time Has Come Poem by Richard Netherland Cook

When My Time Has Come

When my time has come and I am lying,
In a quite place of rest,
Do not grieve for me, it was Gods' will,
I have passed my final test.

Shed no tears at my grave,
I am no longer there,
My debt on earth has been paid,
I am now in Gods' care.

Do not in saddness dwell,
For I have passed away,
Rejoice in all the memories,
That were made with everyday.

Someday you may visit,
My grave and feel alone,
And my spirit will be sitting,
Upon my granite stone.

Even though you want see me,
You can hear me softly say,
Let not your heart be saddened,
For I am with you everyday.

I am in your mind,
Deep within your heart,
Always keep my memory,
And we will never part.

Someday in the future,
Only God will know when,
We will meet in Heaven,
And be together again.
