All these stories of people- -- and no way to know them -- really I love to walk among the headstones and read them and wonder what the person beneath the name looked like and what he did and what she died from and when and of course as a parent the tombstones of children tear at my heart I would very much love to know their stories"
I agree with you, Kate! And, this is an opportunity to share with you a beautiful song my brother wrote and sings. Go to: http://simplyaustralia.mountaintracks.com.au/ Click on "Archives" and find, under "Music", the song "At Pennyweight Flat". He wrote it after seeing all the children's graves at this little cemetery in the heart of the 1850s gold rush region of Victoria (Australia). Hope you enjoy it.
