Tombstone

Joseph m Novo 1951 (Watsonville Ca)



Here, I stand
Looking down
To a sight I'd never thought I would never see

There is a name
There are numbers
Also a very neat saying

You too
Could do this one day
With dates and numbers

Now the journey there
Is different for all
Some good some bad

Do not fear the trip
Because we all must take it
To whatever end

So for now dream on
Sooner or later you will be there
So enjoy your life before your tombstone becomes your home.
