Sepulchered Memories

I have so many buried memories,
        oh, beloved sepulchered recollections;
      and there is a song that haunts me,
        that Mom would sing to Dad.
                     I cannot forget this sad song,
  I'll Be Seeing You-  plays always;
    in my entombed sorrow.
           No two ever loved as much as these two,
       Dad died first and not long after my Mom;
I played, I'll Be Seeing You-   at her death bed . . .

I learnt a new word today... beautiful memories... but always sad when we lose those we love... especially our parents..
