Lifes Headstone

One never knows what will bring
the events before themselves.

Creating the moments
that are etched into stoned history.

Never to be erased
till the end of time.

Then the things of the past
will  never be forgotten.

Leaving room to create,
another page into the book.

A book that never closes,
to writing the events on every page.

Till when it is over,
and the last stone is turned.

Is nothing but the rememberence
of the time you were here.

Never forgetting the memories
of the events gone past.

enjoyed the read so history is always rewritten whether we like it or not, but we can do our best to keep our own thougts alive.
