Even though it's been well over six years since my visit here, this child's grave cradled in a sea of grass remains an unforgettable experience...captivating and, in its own way, comforting.
The back of the grave marker reads: "Our loving darling boy, Gone to bloom with God above."
I'm sure he brought an abundance of joy and happiness to his family if only for a few short years.

The prairie reclaims its own.

DeleteTouching..haunting..evocative
ReplyDeleteIn it's way...a beautiful sight.
DeleteThanks David. I'll never forget the impact of this child's grave.
DeleteRather sad to know that it's been abandoned and seemingly alone.
ReplyDeleteI like to think this child is content with his short life. Now he gets to enjoy eternity.
