One More Stone

One More Stone

One more stone was added today
To those all in a row
But many people will drive on by
For he... they did not know

Would a tear fill their eye?
If he had been their friend?
If they only had the chance to know him
Before his earthly end

One more stone was added today
To those already there
But many may never even notice
Or do they even care?

Of the woman that now lays
Her soul now heaven bound
A mother, sister, aunt and wife
A wonderful friend... I had found

One more stone was added today
As many gathered all around
Wiping tears from their faces
While some would fall upon the ground

A baby angel carved in stone
The name etched in granite…
Surrounded by a beautiful heart
Now this child eternally lives... with the Lord above
And in our dreams and prayers... to never be forgot

Can anyone even imagine?
In this field… the number of tears we have shed
Seeking comfort in the Lord
Through all the prayers... that we have said

One more stone will be added... someday
Another shall be laid to rest
Dear Lord I pray I honored You
And that I did my very best

Etched upon the stone will read...
My ordinary name
Will people come to pay their respects?
Or will it be my shame
