Tombstones and mausoleums
mark the space were loved ones
are laid to rest in graveyards
throughout the land.
Some deceased have no markers
they're dust in the wind
mulch for the plants
or buried at sea.
Does that make their lives
less worthwhile?
No gathering place,
no hyphen between
their birth and death,
no space left on earth
to note they passed.
When their loved ones die
are the they forgotten?
Life goes one with or without us
so while the sun is shining
go out and dance
laugh with a friend
plant something in the ground
paint a picture, write a poem
leave your own marker
before your life is done.
