Roses For The Forgotten

Angels wept as roses today were placed . . . upon forgotten graves in a forgotten place Roses For The Forgotten Two single red roses were placed today Within a graveyard lost to visits made Beside granite cracked and faded names Someone found my newborns babies graves Within falling snow the broken stones Were the only ones to see Who had placed each single rose And as they stood their silent ground A rose for each from the hand was found In this place of silence where no one goes Someone had found the time to place each rose For those who sleep within forgotten land A single red rose was placed by unknown hands Who was it that placed these roses today Within this realm where only silence plays It is only the stones that will ever know Whose were the hands That brushed away cold snow As the day gave way to night Within this cemetary Long lost from sight Red roses rest in moonlight haze Upon frozen ground of forgotten graves Now warmer is the ground below The single petals that lay upon the snow For but a day names again were found Beneath the cold of forgotten ground These babies forgotten stones Lay in Virginia City, Nevada USA The above Picture was taken By my daughter Kimberly. She began visiting these little ones Upon finding them at the back Of this very old cemetary On a cold and snowy day When she Was only sixteen years old. She just turned thirty on her birthday And each time she is in the area She visits these tiny graves And leaves her love offering. On this day she left the pinecones And brought to me the pictures Of these little souls resting place That I had never seen but had Always heard her speak of. My Dear Kimberly No one is left to your world To visit my little ones that Became angeles far to soon. Thank you For remembering my babies. From the beyond We will remember your kindness And we know each time you come To leave your love. Aspiring Angel

Beautiful and sentimental. Touching. You daughter is a treasure. Most people never visit the gravesides of even their loved ones. You child took the time to love someone and seek them out that belonged to no one anymore. Standing ovation to her and to you for your dedication to her and the two forgotten angels.

I have graves of my own I visit but they are of people I knew and loved. These seem to have been twins but the birth years are different, born on New years maybe. I just want to be cremated and have my ashes scattered back to the wind. That way perhaps I'll get to travel the world at last. This was touching.
