Your tombstone stands among the rest;
Neglected and alone.
The name and date are chiseled out
On polished, marbled stone.
It reaches out to all who care
It is too late to mourn.
You did not know that I exist
You died and I was born.
Yet each of us are cells of you
In flesh, in blood, in bone.
Our blood contracts and beats a pulse
Entirely not our own.
Dear Ancestor, the place you filled
One hundred years ago
Spreads out among the ones you left
Who would have loved you so.
I wonder if you lived and loved,
I wonder if you knew
That someday I would find this spot,
And come to visit you.

Lives are commemorated - deaths
are recorded - families are reunited -
memories are made tangible - and
love is undisguised. This is a
cemetery.
Communities accord respect,
families bestow reverence, historians
seek information and our heritage is
thereby enriched.
Testimonies of devotion, pride and
remembrance are carved in stone to
pay warm tribute to
accomplishments and to the life -
not death - of a loved one. The
cemetery is homeland for family
memorials that are a sustaining
source of comfort to the living.
A cemetery is a history of people - a
perpetual record of yesterday and a
sanctuary of peace and quiet today.
A cemetery exists because every life
is worth loving and remembering -
always.
