Like Roses By The Graveside

As I gaze into, eternities past
Reflections of life, become weighted in death
I witness a glimmer of hope
Dissipate into the blackest of night
Never to be seen again

Lower the casket
Enseal the tomb that belies my resting place
Let me sleep
The eternal slumber that embraces me now
Everlasting peace
My soul is at rest, I am one with the earth
Escape the pain
Memories of life, embrace me in death
I am at rest

So weep not for me, as the tears of morning fall, and like roses by the graveside, as they too, shall wilt away and die.

I can hear you cry, the silent tears within, as you place your rose, along side my grave, remember its meaning in life

I can hear you cry, the silent tears within, so remember the past and shed not your tears, because my spirit lives on, and shall never die.

I can never, I shall never

So weep not for me, as the tears of morning fall, and like roses by the graveside, as they too, shall wilt away and die.
