Its a custom we have <br />were a year has passed <br />since loved ones <br />have gone to heavens pearly gates <br />We gather together <br />close family and friends <br />to uncover the tombstone <br />of our family who bares our name <br />With love and respect <br />we uncover the stone <br />from ministers, brothers, <br />sisters, grandchildren, greats and friends <br />Its our last farewell <br />were we sing and praise <br />and acknowledge our loved ones <br />that have passed away <br />It helps us the living <br />to move on in our lives <br />we smile in remembrance <br />of what full lives they had <br />with one final prayer <br />we all bow our heads <br />and give thanks to the lord <br />for giving them our loved ones <br />to be a part of our lives <br />So one final note <br />to my Mum and my Dad <br />your always remember <br />for ever in our hearts <br />for now and evermore<br /><br />Kaila George<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/unveiling-5/
