Poem
Beside another, recent lain Dug before the morning rain Laid in rows midst flowers and grass Where hand-carved marble speaks of past Blackbird seeking worm or grain Eyes the earthen mound again Whence abundant morsal found In spoil fresh dug from sacred ground Brief cessation of the showers Sunshine gifts it's warming powers Somber, dressed in wispy shroud Whispered calls to every cloud Dampened grass wears tinsel glister For mother, father, brother, sister Whose Mourners silent walk the drive Parting as the cars arrive Handshakes, kisses, reminisces Comfort sons and little misses Gather, solumn ’side the grave Adults tearful, children brave Casket edging from its hearse Nature opts to show its worst Heavens open, pours torrential Mourners stoic, reverential For Gran and Gramps met in the war Chance encounter Indian shore Oft to tell despite the warm Danced till night beneath a storm Then beneath a leaning palm Neither heeding risk of harm She succumbed to young man's wishes Shared the first of many kisses Lowered now to Grandpa's side Grief outshone by family pride As Grandma grasps the binding tie Of he in whom she feared no lie One love, his wife, his children's mother Never danced with any other Ever gallant went before To guide her hand to heaven's door And like that storm of Asia past Sun tames cloudburst near as fast Wispy mists of dampness warmed Dance ethereal, barely formed Vapours of the afterlife Moonlit glimpses, man and wife Romance colours all our thoughts Of Gran and Gramp's eternal waltz
