Poem


I entered gates that were rusty and old, worn with age,
     This eternal resting place filled my soul with sadness;
The time of year did not help, barren trees hanging low,
           Dried up flowers lay forlorn on rows of graves.

I followed a pathway taking me deep into the maze of sorrow,
     Many stones difficult to read, erosion and time destroyed;
Some were simple crosses and others pristine granite markers,
          I crossed over a bridge above a rippling stream.

Dark valleys lay before me and toppled statues rest in peace,
     This scene of sadness holds a place in my soul forever;
For among the burial plots, vaults, lays a beloved sad memory,
          Of my childhood cat, Snowball, forever in this place.

                    This pet cemetery, serene and tranquil,

                                                And I still weep . . . .
