One hundred years of life or more

To outsiders it would seem like a goal, a wish, a hope

But they didn’t see you decline or how your mind slipped away bit by bit 

They didn’t have to watch as you forgot the world around you

Or the way the people you loved and who loved you were forced to watch you go

But now you are free from life’s burdens

Free from the tragedy of not knowing who and where you are

Rest well and we, your loved ones, will find you

Let your soul be free and know that you were loved

You will stay in our hearts, our memories, our souls

Until the day we meet again
