"Crosses"

Crosses row on row
silent in their song
empty of life below
what went wrong?

Too many to number
evenly placed to fit
undisturbed slumber
tombstones just sit

Graveyard voices call
laid to rest at last
stories all
long gone past

Crosses in rows
tell their fate
no ribbons and bows
it's too late

These crosses
for us to see
our great losses
why this should be?

Lest we forget
the crosses call
memories still set
crosses for all
