Old Man

All pain is gone.
Thoughts dissappeared.
Nothing there but an old mans beard.
Hidden behind it,
An old mans face.
Tears are falling all around.
Peolpes knees hit the ground.
Relatives cries fill the air.
how could he be so far but near?
The coffin is closed.
it was time for him to go.
The grave stone says,
"Forever in our Hearts"
Even as he decays in the dark.
