Tombstone
Submitted by: HOST GFS Hope@aol.com
Your tombstone stands among the rest... Neglected and alone.
The name and date are chiseled out...On old grey granite stone.
It reaches out to all who care...It is too late to mourn.
You did not know that I exist...You died, and I was born.
Yet each of us are cells of you...In flesh, in blood, in bone.
Our blood contracts and beats a pulse...Entirely not our own.
Dear Ancestor, the place you filled...One hundred years ago
Spreads out among the ones you left...Who would have loved you so.
I wonder if you lived and loved...I wonder if you knew
That someday I would find this spot...And come and visit you.
