Sad poetry...All my Animals
I have a place beneath the sky.
A place to think and sometimes cry.
A piece of earth where memories dwell,
and only love and heaven tell.
As I walk by it brings to mind,
another place another time.
Each one was laid side by side,
with stones in place when they have died.
I say a prayer for each one there.
And pray to God they know I care.
Through many months and many years,
another stone another tear.
I ask myself " is this the price
that I will give and sacrifice?"
Each time I dig another hole,
another life has ripped my soul.
In my heart and in my mind ,
I know we'll meet again in time.
A place to think and sometimes cry.
A piece of earth where memories dwell,
and only love and heaven tell.
As I walk by it brings to mind,
another place another time.
Each one was laid side by side,
with stones in place when they have died.
I say a prayer for each one there.
And pray to God they know I care.
Through many months and many years,
another stone another tear.
I ask myself " is this the price
that I will give and sacrifice?"
Each time I dig another hole,
another life has ripped my soul.
In my heart and in my mind ,
I know we'll meet again in time.
