Then They Shovel Dirt! Poem by Eric Cockrell
Then They Shovel Dirt!
when you quit being
awed by living...
then you are already dead.
when you have no more to give,
then you've closed,
and bolted the door.
when your eyes no longer see beauty,
then you are forever blind!
when you are not touched
by the need of all living beings...
then they shovel dirt,
and mumble prayers!
Believe me.. I get this so much... shovelling like crazy... poignant write which caught me in an unusual mood..tyvm..karen
