In the middle of a large Pecan Orchard
The land beautiful, cultivated to be the best.
Lies a little family graveyard
Where you and yours were laid to rest.
Thorns and briers adorn the place
The tombstones crumbling, metal plaques in rust.
But none of this really matters
Because our bodies go from dust to dust.
And your remains are now
A part of the land you loved.
Still among the family.
Still among your beloved.
