LONG LOST PAST

Your gravestone stands, so cold and lone

In tangled vines, all overgrown.

I wonder if it's hiding there;

And waiting for someone to care.


I see your name and faded date,

So worn from age and destined fate.

And now it seems to beckon me,

To touch its' face, for more to see.


I feel the script; Oh, can it be......?

My mind now reads your history!

So now I have a solemn task,

To document your long lost past.
