Blessed Be The Dead

Blessed be the dead that the sun shines on, for they are always warm.

Blessed be the dead that the moon watches over, for they will be protected.

Blessed be the dead that the earth holds, for the world holds them as well.

Blessed be the dead that float on the wind, for they can’t be forgotten.

Blessed be the dead that the fire burns, for they are cleansed of sin.

Blessed be the dead that the rain falls on, for the world cries for them.

Blessed be the dead that the snow fall on, for they are pure in heart.

Blessed be the dead that the trees embrace, for they will live again.

Blessed be the dead that the rock covers, for they won’t be disturbed.

Blessed be the dead that have been loved, are loved, and will forever be loved, for they are truly blessed.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this for my tombstone.  Morbid, I know.

hey! I haven't heard from you in a while. Thanks for the critique.

have you started writing again? or did you ever stop...?

...I wish I could give critiques like you but I can't. I like this poem but then again I don't. But I do think you should put it on your tombstone, it ain't too morbid :P
