Graveyard Stroll
A stretch of land, where bodies rest
A gentleman pays his respects
With a heavy heart and much to confess
A golden pin upon his breast
The wicked winter is fading, fast
The blanket of snow, now a sheet of slush
He loses his breath from a chill of the past
A thick and heavy hush
He cups his hands atop his mouth
Thawing them with his breath
He hears desperate cries out loud
But surrounds him, is only death
He has so many stories to tell
And knows more than he should
But until he joins them all, in Hell
He'll speak of only good
