Alone Beneath a Granite Stone

He lies beneath a granite stone
His name carved ages ago
Faded and worn by time
It is barely a shadow
Tears were shed long before
Love was shown
Grief was shared
Now there are no flowers
Weeds and brush cover the land
No one left to mourn
There’s no one who remembers
There’s just a man
Beneath a granite stone
Alone and forgotten
