Where No One Comes to Pray by Duke LaRance Sunday, May 29, 2011 Rated "PG" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan In rememberance of the forgotten.

The saddest place in the graveyard Is not where the children sleep It’s a little spot in the corner Where no one comes to weep You walk around and shake your head There are no real stones Or nothing much to mark the spot Where there lie the Unknowns Unknown Adult, Unknown Child How could this come to pass?That there are those to us Unknown There lying ‘neath the grass My God, how could a baby die With no one there to cry? I walk around that Sacred Ground I have to wonder why I think of this place now and then Then each Memorial Day I ponder there and bow my head Where no one comes to pray Copyright©2011/dukelarance Duke LaRance -- the Drugstore Cowboy Poet www.authorsden.com/dukelarance

That�s very good Duke. Is there really such a place you know personally?

This is a wonderful poem, sharing a heart of compassion. You know, millions of babies are willingly killed by misled parents, and are never named or publicly mourned. The consequences are many, though, as the mothers especially know in their hearts the tragedy they have been part of in aborting their children. Sadly, Connie

Tis a shame to realize that there are at times babies and children with no one around to name them, much less pray for them or cry over their graves...good to see you stop in and write one, you are missed...Ed
