A Place To Be In

We were strangers when you took us in
To be a part of this family, 
When left orphaned at thy hallowed gates
And had smote with a fervent plea; 

Welcomed to stay and given a home
At this tranquil yard where we roam free, 
Lifelong we may have in places lived
But none like this cemetery.
