CARVED MEMORIES

~EPITAPH

When she was still alive

people used to join her jive

now that shes lying underneath this tomb stone

her memories will remain

and will never ever be blown

C-hances are always there
H-appiness is what I can share

I-ncrease and wipe those tears
E-enjoy your life, believe that you'll live for a long long years
