Notes About The Poem

Image result for images of tombstones with crows perched on them

The Demise of the Departed

THE DEMISE OF THE DEPARTED

It matters not what lies below
It's only a body in decomposition
The marker a resting place for a crow
The body below awaits a transition
One day that body will be resurrected
Let's pray their eternity is what they expected

Thank you so much, Debra! I apologize for not responding sooner, but I have been on extended vacation. Pigeon Forge was beginning to have the regular beauty in the leaf changes. Retirement is wonderful.
