I will never forget the sweet smell of the earth on the day we laid you in the ground
Or how damp it felt, as it fell away, crumbling between my fingers
The crisp cutting sound the shovel made in the dirt, as we lovingly lowered you down
I can still taste the warm, salty tears on my lips, as they fell from my eyes, gently lingering
Now to see you again, I simply close my eyes and let your dear memory wander. Until the day I will see you again and for eternity we will be together
