Epitaph

Hello there friend, my name is Dave,
You're welcome at my humble grave,
Please walk around the neighborhood,
And find a spot that looks real good.

It gets so lonely, here below,
The living pass, and then they go,
These words inscribed are seldom read,
You think it's easy being dead?

Well, thanks for stopping, glad you came,
I hope you'll not forget my name,
I'm looking forward to the day,
When you'll be coming back to stay.

David, a great poem and imagery. Makes me think of visiting my loved one's graves and wonder if they know I am there.
