Written In Stone Among the Flowers

I see your name there written in stone Beside so many others to me faces unknown Do you see me or am I alone In this place where last respects are shown Are you walking here among the flowers Where we laid your earthly body to rest Where souls are set free to join higher powers Is this, the final journey of our life-quest? I see the dates there written in stone Your day of birth and of your last breath Are we merely made of flesh and bone Or does time continue for us after death I see the words of endearment there written in stone Do you Beloved Husband my voice hear Are my words like dust in the four winds forever blown Or can the words chiseled here comfort you my dear When my name is there beside yours written in stone All these answers to me will be finally known I pray you and I walk here among the flowers Our souls joined forever among higher powers ©Donna Jones

Very nice poem Donna. Starts off very interesting and keeps getting better. The fourth stanza's mentioning of hearing the voice for comfort is probably my favorite part of the poem....and the ending is very good as well. Keep up the good work!
