Joseph Jeremiah Naye Poet Elegy

At The Grave Side

At the grave side
Always a moment for 
 deep reflection 
About life and its fleeting
 nature
We are reminded that life
 is but a breath
We are a breath short before
 we join the dead.

The grave though silent, yet 
 speaks volumes
It tells the story of a life once
 lived
Love once shared and legacies
 left.

Questions coming to the fore
Am l living or existing
Am I leaving a legacy
Am I loving enough and
Am i giving enough
Thoughts at the grave side.
