The Grave

I took along walk one day,
to clear my mind an get away.
I stumbled apon an empty grave.
An to this day i'm glad I saw,
what was written on that granit stone.
were words that shook me to my core.
"Here lays an empty soul,left with out the want to fight .
She lost her way, now here she lays.
 Her broken heart shot her down, now she lays cold benith the ground."
These words I took to heart,
they gave my life a brand new start.
Since that day i've walked those woods,
and I never saw that grave again
