MY  CEMETERY

It’s not a fenced in green – filled

with grey granite gravestones,  

or green Styrofoam discarded 

wreathes and dead flowers.

It’s this mahogany wooden box –

filled with hundreds of memorial cards.

And instead of walking among the stones,

I let my fingers - my mind and my prayers -  

do the walking through the cards and the 

lives of the people I have known and met.
