Favorite Quote:
The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> -Robert Frost


Tick –tock.
Church bell rings three,
Silent crush of feet on a pebble stone ,

Tick- tock.
The church is hushed,
Three hearses drive slowly through a pebble maze.

Tick-tock.
A shovel hits stone,
Like loss finally accepting defeat,
Weeds still,
As those who died,
Their secrets will remain,
Those left,
A constant reminder of those lost.

Tick-Tock.
Church bell rings four,
Policemen stand steady,
As priests present the last eulogies,
Three coffins lowered,
Their last words written on marble stone…
…TICK… TOCK!
