i_hate_the_world47 Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 The night air blows But she shows no signs of being cold Yet the wrinkles on her face Show signs her getting old She stands in the cemetery The smell of death and cheap perfume in the air As she reads the name on the head stone The winds blows her hair It seems like yesterday Yet the date was years before Before her son gave life a last try And closed the door She remembers the screams of regret What happened to her son A young mother had lost her baby Death had won So she lays a dozen roses And the rope that sealed his fate She felt the cold hard stone And read the boy's death date The date read 1997 In the month of cold december No one would see those roses They all would soon forget her She then walked to steps over And read the next head stone Shock filled the old womens eyes This head stone was her own She touched the cold head stone with care And read the sad death date She died on New years day In 1998 Comments are greatly appreciated. ~Meagan~ Link to comment
