Inspired by Weekly Prompts: GARDEN

Photographer Unknown

Some people think that there is nothing more sad then when it rains during a funeral

and you can’t hear the service because all you can hear is the sound of the rain drops

hitting your umbrella.

Sadder then that is knowing that the rain will not feed or make anything live in this

regrettable garden.

I don’t feel that way.

I think the thought of it raining upon a cemetery when nobody

is there  to hold an umbrella over their heads

to  wish for bluer, gentle skies

and all the sleeping dead have to hear

are the sounds of the rain hitting the empty ground above them is the saddest thing of all.
