"...That's the whole secret of life. Life is a series of dogs." (George Carlin)


There is a place I cannot go.
It has too many memories for me to take.
When I come to this place, I cannot stop myself.
I stand still, hang my head,
And release my tears upon the ground.

This place is near too far,
yet it is far too near.
The beauty of this field,
it touches my heart too deeply,
And I let my tears upon the ground.

This place holds a person,
who I knew and loved dearly.
I was young when she departed,
but I remember her still.
I hold her in my heart,
With my tears upon the ground.

And when I stand in front of her tombstone,
My heart begins to fall.
I leave a flower on her grave,
And my tears upon the ground.

I lost my grandmother when I was young. I still can't go to her grave.
