Thought y'all might appreciate this. I really love the last 2 verses. Blessings, Odessa Higdon-Crenshaw ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We live as long as we are remembered. Old Russian Proverb THE RECORDING OF A CEMETERY-- BY THELMA GREENE REAGAN Today we walked where others walked On a lonely, windswept hill; Today we talked where others cried For Loved Ones whose lives are stilled. Today our hearts were touched By graves of tiny babies; Snatched from the arms of loving kin, In the heartbreak of the ages. Today we saw where the grandparents lay In the last sleep of their time; Lying under the trees and clouds - Their beds kissed by the sun and wind. Today we wondered about an unmarked spot; Who lies beneath this hollowed ground? Was it a babe, child, young or old? No indication could be found. Today we saw where Mom and Dad lay. We had been here once before On a day we'd all like to forget, But will remember forever more. Today we recorded for kith and kin The graves of ancestors past; To be preserved for generations hence, A record we hope will last. Cherish it, my friend; preserve it, my friend, For stones sometimes crumble to dust And generations of folks yet to come Will be grateful for your trust. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
