Eternity In A Box Poem by Tony Sandy

Here I am
Until here I am not,
Taken by death
And soon forgot.

Stuck in a box
In the cold, damp earth
Not much room to move
And not much room for mirth.

They say words
Over my soil
Which others have dug
And filled with their toil.

Yet here I lay
Gone and forgotten
My bones left behind,
My flesh turned rotten.

Goodbye old world
My temporary home.
I lay my head now
In a longer lasting tomb.
