I Stand Before a Piece of Stone

You took your life and left mine behind It was before God's own time I stand before a piece of stone Etched in memory is your name Feeling numb, how long will this remain? I stand before a piece of stone I see others that have come and gone The flowers galore represent their song I stand before a piece of stone You traded your life to go to heaven If I had known your pain was so laden ~ Mom now stands before a piece of stone ©Holly P.

Holly, this one is heart breaking. Sure hope it is not true. I think ghazal is a really good idea for this message.
