…with a moral.
This beautiful abandoned cemetery is over a century old, it has some of the more artful and finely carved headstones I have seen in a graveyard.
Clearly the people buried in this graveyard had money -at one time.
Yet, it couldn’t save them.
They still became lost in the dark woods.
And this is all that is left of where they prayed.
All the wild uncontainable things they spent their lives trying to control
Have now begun to swallow them whole.
Whether you do, or whether you don’t,
Think about it not.
Money and power are temporary, fragile and elusive to the grasp.
So pointless to spend the hours of life in search of that.
Courage, honesty, endurance, persistence, fortitude
It is earned, and built, and forged through life’s fires and trials,
This is a true wealth meant to last.
Because for all the days a man lives to breath or pray,
These things can’t be beaten back or taken away.
