White Marble Stones

White Marble Stones
White marble stones
Stand side by side
Reminding us of
Those who fought and died
White marble stones
Memories of
Parents or children
Or friends that we loved
White marble stones
Row after row
Freshly turned soil
Rain, sleet or snow
White marble stones
New chiseled names
Soft bugled notes
Echoed refrains
White marble stones
A widow’s soft tears
Week after week
Year after years
White marble stones
