~what Color Is Your Headstone? ~ Poem by Panagiota Romios

-Is is marble or bronze that glistens brightly in the sun?
-With factoids all about you~for everyone?

-Is it a small marker or something more grandiose?
Like upright or sculptured, I am not trying to be morose.

-My headstone will be , at this site for eternity.
-My poems are neither great masterpieces nor brimming with wit,
-However....they do tell the story of me.

-My wish is to be in a beautiful urn one day.
-In my daughter's lovely house in loving, yet respectful display.
