Graveside Lament

by Albert Semple, 24 December 2023

____
  1. As travellers we share the road
  2.  though different routes we run.
  3. Be peaceful, fellow traveller:
  4.  your journey here is done.

  5. Many chapters tell the tale
  6.  of lifetimes been and gone.
  7. Although today we close your book,
  8.  your stories travel on.
