A poem about death and the grave yard….

Oh let me rest my weary head, no more shall I work or slave,

lying in my narrow bed, beside all the other graves…

No hatred shall I feel, nor wages shall I collect,

just asleep in the open field, I have paid my final debt…

There is no pain, nor sorry or any gain,

and no falling spring rain, will make me grow again…

Asleep in peace I lie, breathless in dreamless slumber,

thats what happens when you die, you are no longer a number…

For here in deep hades, is the end of all chatter,

like times before babies, we just didnt matter…

Among the headstones and weeds, theres no pathway to tread,

I have no further needs, lying in my narrow bed…

    You are most welcome my new friend kathryn.This is the most unknown subject we know very little of and for many it holds them in fear,mainly because the churches or the clergy never tell us the truth,or like the religious leaders of Jesus days just wont believe the truth,and so they teach doctrines of men,so today we get all kinds of conflicting teachings about what happens to us when we die….hahaha we certainly dont sit on a cloud playing our harps all day….thank you for your comment here…..
