This is a just a write that I based on a poem by the same name that Pamela A. Lamppa has posted on her authors page at www.creative-poems.com.

Rest Gently!

Rest gently now my darling.

Rest in your grave so secure.

Know now that no one will ever bother you again.

Whether it come snow—sunshine, or rain.

Rest gently now darling rest in your grave so low.

My love, sleep gently.

Know that I love you even with you already gone.

Rest gently knowing that I soon will be with you.

I know that without you I cannot go on.

Already, I am so lonely and blue.I know not what I will do while you rest gently all alone.

Johnny Yuma here, I am a happily married Husband, Dad of three two boys, and one girl, and Grandpa to seven wonderful Grandkids.  I am a writer of short poems, essays, and a few short stories. I also try to be a Christian. I have a few poems published in paperbacks such as Poesia.  Poesia is a paperback book that is published by Indian Bay Press in Fayetteville, Arkansas. With that many Grandkids I stay fairly busy which is fine by me. I mostly write at night.

I also have published one book called, "My Life The Way I Remember It".
