The bullying husband cold as ice,

Who everyone else thought so nice.

The lover laying feet way,

The nagging wife with nothing to say.

Unpublished remedies to cure disease

Regrets from people too easy to please,

People that were misunderstood

The naughty boy who was really so good.

The murdered child on a blue silk pillow

Laying yards away from her un-found killer.

The practical joker who used to enjoy

The people he mostly used to annoy.

The fighter a hard man with stories untold,

Is forgot for his kindness and heart of gold.

Service men and woman who fought in the wars

Defending our freedoms and died for the cause,

Brave acts committed that never were seen

Are now dead ambitions and unfulfilled dreams.

The fretful, the jolly, the ladies’ man,

The girl from the shop who died in her pram!

The man whose daughter he never discovered

Was not really his, but his younger brother's!

Men and woman who never showed fear

The local landlord who watered his beer

The brilliant singer who never made good

Ambition stifled by motherhood.

The secrets, the truths, the terrible lies;

Buried for ever, from prying eyes.
Next time you walk around a cemetery. Think of all the secrets beneath you!
