Grave Digger

DestinysPerspectives

Time keeps digging you a deeper grave.

I know you can't see the gray like I do.

We could never battle on the same side.

They say I should keep you six feet under.

I keep shoveling you out of your grave.

I know I should put the shovel down.

I am in battle to the ticking of time.

I know I can't win that battle alone.

It's time I covered you with gray.

I've traded the shovel for a pen.

I wrote our eulogy today.

    Wow! Lovely poem! The line "traded the shovel for a pen" was so symbolic of passing on from a deceased loved one, especially for us poets. Good job on this piece! 💖👍
