Subject: [IN-CEM] TODAY I VISITED YESTERDAY
I was going thru old e-mail and deleting what I did not need and printing
out
what I wanted and found this. Thought I would send it along and hope some
one can use it or print it out and put with their cemetery info. Beej
TODAY I VISITED YESTERDAY
By Pat Conner Rice
Today I visited yesterday,
And walked among the graves
Of family and friends from long ago.
Whose memory had begun to fade.
The graves were unattended
As were my thoughts of them
When a vision of the ages past
Brought back my sense of kin.
The vision showed the church lawn
On a crisp summer day
The table spread, the food prepared
And friends who would break bread
All my relatives were there.
Both young and old
Grandma and I walked hand and hand
Sharing stories never told
We laughed and cried and
Shared our thoughts.
And I found the friend I thought I'd lost.
As the sun began to fade.
The church bell rang out clear
Grandma and the others slowly disappeared
Today I visited yesterday
And now the memory is strong
Of the family from which I came
AND NOW BELONG.
