The Gift Most Precious

The aging, moss covered markers exist as tributes
testaments of life past
living lives in a different moment
 
 All that I feel was felt before 
love, pain, joy ,fear
drifting through time, passion that is life

Too soon must I relinquish this precious gift
given but for a while
Beauty so rare it cannot be contained

 Although I must bow before time ,life is eternal
My stone shall be a testament,
"Weep not, for I was given the gift most precious"
