The Grave
I view the greens
of the cemetery field.
Graves full of flowers,
Except for one still.
Seasons had come,
seasons did go.
Summer’s eve
and winter’s cold
Headstones aligned,
all in a row,
a small single one,
sits all alone
No single flower
or family visits,
away from it all,
It’s sad as I see it.
For ten long years,
nobody cared.
My feelings are somber
and mildly snared.
Viewing the marker,
my tears were so many.
The inscription it said,
“I love you, my daughter, Emily”
