Eternal Rest

Beneath this tree I'm all alone
The ground becomes my bedding
Stars so bright, no clouds around
The moon a distant figure
A gentle breeze to cool my brow
The hoot of owl in distance
Here is my home beneath the sky
This place I want for rest eternal
So if you find my bones out here
Just let them lay where they belong

Sad but very powerful statement steve1223..."Beneath this tree I am all alone. The ground becomes my bedding." From dust to dust we shall return..did I read that someplace? Commanding write steve. Thanks for sharing...
