sea of voices

Author: Unknown

Come to the sea of voices
as you walk upon the beach
look back your generations
so many gone to sleep

out there with the stars
somewhere baton holders
who ran the race before
i miss you now

last people
standing in a household
while ones before
long since left

the cold wind blows
when reflecting
you were once here
sometime ago

goodbye grandad
grandmother too
farewell to my dad
i never got to know you.

Thankyou Serpico, In my humble opinion, a very well written poem about a difficult subject, while not being too gushing in sentimentality, warm in content.....Andrew.
