I rather like cemeteries. This one is in central Auckland and is very old and overgrown. It made me feel rather sad to read the words "Don't cry for me my mother dear". Such an old gravestone and in such disrepair. There is no one crying for David any more!
IN LOVING MEMORY OF
DAVID
THE BELOVED SON OF JOSEPH AND MARGARET CLARKE
WHO DEPARTED THIS LIFE FEBRUARY 6TH 1884
AGED 24 YEARS
WEEP NOT FOR ME MY MOTHER DEAR
I AM NOT DEAD BUT SLEEPING HERE
I WAS NOT YOURS BUT ONLY LENT
CHRIST TOOK ME HOME BE THOU CONTENT
