The Chiseled Etching
by d jackson
And so it is written
and so it be so
here on this stone
names in time go…¥
Pay witness ye now,
your mark not forget
bide life as you will
your time here is set… ¥
This space that we have
to love here on earth
is set forth in stone
the day of our birth…¥
Tare not ye one moment
to lose with sad heart
for it shan't be replaced
let it not be a part…¥
Find strength inside
to shed forth ill will
covet smiles and laughter
at each moment still…¥
Inside each one of us
is the chance to love good
stand fast to the challenge
the way that you should…¥
Short is our life here
to live in love's throw's
respect that your one chance
is here now and goes…¥
Lend all that you are
and take to life's end
cherished moments of love
with someone your friend…¥
Open and willing
do give of your heart
to they that you love
from this day do start…¥
Remember the stone
and minutes of life set
don't lose them forever
in wasted regret…¥
Reach and find bliss
whereever you can
every moment's but, once
n'er live it again…¥
The day of our reckoning
will too quickly be here
and alongside our names
on the stone shall appear…¥
The tale of our lives
and moments in time spun
giving love to each other
n'all other ways done…¥
All we can hope
is the tally tells true
that our heart gave it's all
to love and good too…¥
When times bid you tarry
in the realms of the dark
don't forget a stone's etchings
and your moments there marked…¥
