on visiting your grave the morning breathes black and thick I inhale fragments of gloom in gasps caught between tears Brisbin cemetery lays cold and brittle beneath sheets of fog this fall morning and tiny grave taunts of life barely lived I am nothing special...and my name will soon be forgotten,but I've loved another with all my heart and soul,and to me,this has always been enough.~N.S [This message has been edited by Denise (11-16-2007 06:18 AM).] |

Oh, my, Ruth, this is sadder than sad. You have drawn me into your pain so adeptly, that I am feeling it ~ and I weep with you. God bless Linda |

Oh my Sainted Aunt..!!! I recall from one of our many visits, a stone of an unknown girl. It was so touching that I had to ask the undertaker about it. Seems a police officer purchased it for her. The only words read "Remember Me" with an approx. age and dated 1923. If I want to cry, (not that I'd tell anybody I do) I go there. Tears in the rains of silence. Excuse me, I can't see to write.
