The Place

A stone erected in it's place Marking a grave a special space Where is buried the flesh that turns to dust A solemn message for each of us A name and a date the beginning and the end The now known location of a dear, dear friend Sometimes the oneness of a husband and wife Sometimes a monument for a heroic life And sometimes the stones are all just the same a stone, a flag and just the name A place for honor beneath the ground A sign of respect without a sound A farewell from those left behind A place where love is easy to find
