Walk of Thoughts

A walk through the cemetary
Brings perspective to life
The dreams and goals
Washed away with they're plight.

Did they reach their goals?
Were their dreams fulfilled?
Did they pass from age
Or the danger they lived.

Are they up above,
Or down below?
A question we ask
Only one way to know.

When we go....
No matter the cause
Will our dreams go with us
Will our goals be fulfilled?
Life after death.
"Cemetary on the Hill"

Love as many things as you can
Enjoy your life
Give a helping hand-
Fulfill your dreams
Work toward your goals
for life is short.....

The memories we make
Will be passed on in life
Undo your mistakes.
Ask for forgiveness
Forgive as you must
for one day for sure,
"it will be us".

In this place
Just empty and cold
An empty shell without a soul
Up above or down below.
The life we've lived,stories passed on
A legacy we leave to be foretold
For we all have a heart and we all have a soul.

But,in the end
A soul no more
Just the life we shared
And our stories foretold......

Good piece, Agnes. welcome to Poetry-Soup. Empty shells without souls, good description for residents in the graveyards. Best to have well-laid plans for the destination of the soul before it leaves the body. Enjoyed your piece very much.
