The Piper Plays - Saddest Landscape

The saddest thing to see Looks so tiny waiting there Is the coffin of a young baby ground opened and prepared Coffin is blessed and kissed Said the final goodbye by parents so distressed who just want to die The piper plays Its soulful lament The coffin is lowered Prayers are sent Mothers knees buckle Too much to take in This sad landscape Of a white tiny coffin.

This is such a sad, sad write my friend! I know of people that had to bury a baby, it is a terrible thing to go through! I really loved reading this awesome poem here this morning! What a grand piece! I'm sorry I haven't been on lately! I've been having internet problems, that is why I haven't been on! They even told me that I will be without internet soon again before it will be fixed, so that is why I'm trying to get to everybody before I'm out again! But that is why I haven't been on lately!
