Eternal Rest (Tanka)
Hands joined, head bowed down,
I stand lonely at the grave,
Where my parents rest,
For one last chance to say "Thanks",
I would free them from the clay.
I stand lonely at the grave,
Where my parents rest,
For one last chance to say "Thanks",
I would free them from the clay.

I stand lonely at the grave,
Where my parents rest,
For one last chance to say "Thanks",
I would free them from the clay.
Beautiful, though sad Mick. The only unconditional love is from parents, they never take away their love like a lover does.
Thanks for comment.......Mick.
You're spot on with the word
Unconditional.............Mick.
I regularly pray at the grave.
