A PLACE TO REST

Promise me

that when I die

No pretty flowers

will you buy

Save your dough

but if you must

buy something useful

when I'm dust

Get some boards

some paint, some screws

and build me something

that I choose

Along the path

where we once walked

erect a bench

where lovers stalk

And when you've given

your very best

please take a break

and we'll both rest
