Tombstone
Here, I stand
Looking down
To a sight I'd never thought I would never see
There is a name
There are numbers
Also a very neat saying
You too
Could do this one day
With dates and numbers
Now the journey there
Is different for all
Some good some bad
Do not fear the trip
Because we all must take it
To whatever end
So for now dream on
Sooner or later you will be there
So enjoy your life before your tombstone becomes your home.
