Who are these people
I’d like to know
As I walk above
They are below
When were they born
How did they perish
Does anyone know
A memory to cherish
Was it a life
Of pain and sorrow
Or a hopeful life
Awaiting tomorrow
Were they young
Or were they old
Were they timid
Were they bold
What did they do
To earn a living
Were they stingy
Or always giving
One thing is certain
As told by their stone
Each is a life
I won’t leave alone.
