A little poem that came to mind one day whilst cogitating in a graveyard:

Warm in a heart you lie

Remembered with fondness

Until that heart too passes

And the memories fade

Cold in your grave you lie

Perhaps in history you lie

Until that history changes

And you, once fêted, now are vilified

Yet nothing changed

Cold in your grave you lie

Cold in your grave you lie

Named for eternity

Or 'til neglect and decay step in

And erase the memory of you.

Cold in your grave you lie.
