In the graveyard kneel so many mourning, wailing widows and widowers — weak-kneed and hanging off tombstones.
Carved of marble or cast of bronze, and meant to last an eon.
How odd to imagine a permanent mourner.
In the time marble can be carved, I’d prefer any subject on my gravestone to be captured leaning back in a boisterous belly-laugh with a beer can in hand.
😳 That’s a powerful statement and touching as well. But, if I saw a man leaning back with a beer laughing, I would be just as impressed.

you’re right..i never saw it like that…but maybe its the same as they say with funerals, they are for the living and not the deceased.
