Lay down the weight you have carried,

The long night is ending now.

The river knows where to take you,

And it does not rush or pull.

No more struggle in the body,

No more suffering to endure.

May pain loosen its grip and fall away,

As rest opens like a wide sky.

You are free.

You are held.

You are at peace.

Arrangements are entrusted to the Sifton Funeral Home, 118 Wellington St., St. Thomas (519-631-1160).
