SUNDAY POST : People
Memorials of those who lived and died
Headstones etched with varied dates and names
People just like us who lived their lives
Whom still remain a part of us today
Humanity’s resting place of those gone before
Ahead into eternity – we shall follow
Reminders of a truth we can’t ignore
A foreign passage we must one day swallow
To walk along the headstones and inspect them
Midst markers full of those I didn’t know
For me a sense of kinship and connection
While my heart fills with reverent overflow
Graveyards; not a place of fear or anguish
Just reminders of our fellowmen who passed
To think that one day sadness will be vanquished
What joyous thought – for such to come to pass
