She Loved

So brilliantly it shines in the November sunlight

A cool mornin' it is with the wind kickin up the leaves

The dew clings to it like twinklin' diamonds

Then slides down it like tears of a friend

The trees bend down around it as if bowing in sadness

So gray and hard though the letters on it swirl softenin' the look about it

A simple thing really though the words tell a tale

So vivid and lovely that it stands out from the rest

The grass leans on the stone caressin' it softly

A slight measure of comfort in this big yard full of stones

It is the prettiest by far in its simplicity

No border or fancy angelic smiles grace it's flatness

But the words lend it beauty

It outshines them all in this cold place

Only two words make is so

A short phrase tells her life

The loveliness even in death glitters

In that one phrase her soul shines out like the sun

"She Loved"
