No matter what you believe to be right,
One man had the faith and the foresight
To encircle his family’s graves facing each other,
So on Judgement Day, he could again greet his brother.
Instead of facing east towards the sun,
They were all laid to rest facing loved ones.
Concentric circles as each family member did enter,
Their toes all pointed to the patriarch’s center,
Where he and his wife have laid side by side,
Waiting for the Rapture since the day they each died.
An on that day when the Lord calls us home,
The Sedgwick’s will know that they’re not going alone.
The last sights they will see before they ascend
Will be generations of relations, loved ones and friends.
