words had been spoken
memories had been shared
tears had flowed
and flowers had been laid
love was poured out
in the greatest way
only one act left undone
the final act of love
a shovel of dirt for my rebellion,
and a rock for your wisdom
a shovel of dirt for my depression,
and a rock for your joy
a shovel of dirt for my pride,
and a rock for your love
dirt wasn’t all that was left behind that day
and sadness wasn’t all that was taken away
beneath the dirt lies regret
and on my heart hope
because two people died that day
one was you
the other me
