BENCHES
FOR THE DEAD
Quietly waiting
Benches lovingly placed
In remembrance
Sit awhile reflecting upon
Those who sat before
Quietly watching
Views no longer sighted
In loving memory
Sited at favourite spots
Often visited
Quietly resting
Take a moment to breathe
In refreshing air
Read a plaque for someone
Who loved it here
Quietly creaking
Benches for the dead
In living places
Rest awhile with lost ones
Wish you were here
