Mama was laid
Underneath the red flowers
Where gentle wind blows
Overlooking the green mountains
With stories untold
.
Headstones
Hold stories untold
Of
Hearts lifted
And hearts broken
Of
Simplicity
And sophistication
Of pride
And shame
Of regret
Of freedom
And bondage too
.
They hold more
Than meets the eye
Headstones hold stories
Of
Men and women of honor.

I love walking through cemeteries. That may seem a bit strange, but I love it for all the words you used here. Untold stories of that person and their life here on this earth. It sends my mind wandering through all the possibilities.
I am scared of cemeteries even though I know it’s silly. Many of my loved ones lay there. I often wonder though what their stories truly were but yet I know that God is sovereign. He knows.๐

Eloquent. Potent. Excruciatingly true.
Thank you very much Miss Kitsy๐๐
A little teary eyed after reading. I took my precious Mama every week to Memorial Park, where Papa is laid to rest. Now she lies beside him, and I go regularly to put flowers. ๐๐๐๐

Yes indeed.
How old was your mother when she died? I know,you were very little.
Mama was 25 when she passed.
Oh my goodness. Life cut so short.
Yes it was. My little sister was only 6 months old. I am thankful that she carried me in her womb and gave me a gift of a mother’s love and touch for those few years.
