A grave mistake?

I recently took a trip to the cemetery

To visit those near and dear to me

Who are no longer here

I passed a headstone of a man

Which had the following inscription

Following his name and dates of course

'He was a nice guy'

 

I'm sure this man was a nice guy

But do you really wish that is

How they will remember you

After you die?

There must be something else

You want to have etched in granite

Won't make a bit of difference

Can it?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

You know that expression "I'll take it to the grave?" It's a far drive from my house so I did. Two slices of pizza and a drink. Also a small bag of pretzels and a bottle of water for the return trip. Thanks Mom for the suggestion.
