The Funeral
written by: Robin McNamara
@robbiemac72
If I died in the morning,
Would you cry?
Would you visit my grave
With a heavy sigh?
Would the birds stay silent?
As mournful clouds wet the soil,
Of my freshly dug grave.
Would you place a wreath
On top of the coffin?
Encasing my unfinished soul,
And walk away barefoot,
Back down the pebbled path.
