Ginisology ~: Happy 4th of July ~

Remembered 100 Years From Now~

It is now night and all is silent.
I am here alone
and in silence all my past friends
with all my relations
fall heavy on my mind.

They all are gone,
and I too must soon follow.

To be laid in the dust in the silent grave
and there to be forever forgotten
makes the cold chills run over my whole body.

I have a hope beyond the grave.
That hope is that when I am consigned to my grave,
someone on the earth might remember me.

Even though I am a Canadian I remember when I was about 5 years old and we still lived in Windsor, Ontario.
We would go down to the banks of the Detroit River and watch the fireworks from across the water.
At that age I didn't understand the significance.; July 4, 2010 at 11:27 AM
