Poem: A lifetime

0 Conversations


Snow, fallen on the gravestones,

Light, shining on the snow,

Walking through the shining stones,

Marking the resting places of

All who are dead,

I’m reading the words which

Mean nothing to me but

Mean everything to someone.


One day many years from now,

I’ll be simply one slab of stone,

Covered by beautiful, white crystals,

Looked at by curious children,

Drawn by the sombre darkness,

They’re reading the words which

Mean nothing to them but

Mean a lifetime to me.
