Those flowers, so fresh!

As I lie pale and white

Those flowers on my chest so fresh

Mourners in black and white

Shedding right tears, in right measure



As I lie pale and white

I never knew I had friends so many

Would have been nice if they were around

While I was alive



As I lie pale and white

I never knew I was so good

Worthy of praise so kindly showered

It’s news I was the noblest!



As I lie pale and white

I know they’re so eager

To see who gets what

And share what’s left



As I lie pale and white

Shorn of gold even in my teeth

They just can’t wait

To share the divides



As I lie pale and white

I smile
OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
