The Grave


My stepson has complained to me
That death, and nothing but this theme
Is the recurring one in all
My verses.
I do agree.
Firstly it is a legally prescribed
Condition that entry in this home
Depends upon the applicant to have agreed
Upon the service, grave site and so on.
That shall apply
In case of need.
Not only did I cheerfully comply
But also (and this is the second reason)
I do not fear my death, because I will
See her again, kiss her again, for ever
And ever more.
