Array ( [sid] => 24748 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Lady at the Grave [time] => 2003-10-10 00:38:42 [hometext] => [bodytext] => While driving by a local burial site late in the day, the sun was hiding behind the trees. I happened to notice a lady at a grave. She was down on bended knees, she bent her head and tears fell freely. Sobbing with all her heart, she leaned against the stone.

Stopping, I wanted to make sure she was alright. Turning for one brief moment, I looked back and the lady was gone...

I walked around to the front of the resting place,
the grave was unattended, and had been there quite some time. And I read;

Leslie Ann Perry, and her baby Sarah Ann.

Both died at birth; "One with a few short minutes, and One by choice"

Such sadness I turned to walk away. With the sun filtering through the trees playing with the autumn colors, I happened to notice the gleam of tears on the stone..........Crow

a very moving write - you have such a way of catching the moment like a tear....and life so fragile at every phase
i can picture this scene in my mind - hear it, smell the air, feel the sadness
