Time overtakes the man-made garden.

Rows upon rows upon rows upon

Nature will win the war,

overtaking the beauty of man.

It’s all we’ll be

forever in history.

Forgotten upon the rows and rows


But, this is where your story begins

To outlive the moments and memories of- you


Flowers, roses, cards

Cars, visitors’ tears,

Years upon years.

Overgrowth of ivey

Unknown hands upon your stone

Cracks, slants, slumps

Your dash is what matters at the moment

Your dash is so unknown
