Dusty grave

It's a dusty grave

Too dusty of a grave

A dusty grave


I have my flowers 

Not gladiolus no lilies 

You were a simple man


Carnations and daisies 

A sunflower in the middle

For good measure


Kneeling in the dirt 

A salty tear

Lands in the grit 


I say "hi dad"

I miss you

I sure do


Words don't suffice 

They sure don't 

You'd be 88 today


You said I'd miss you

And I sure do 

All I see is glare


The sun shining 

so bright it hurts 

On your dusty grave
