Found Poem

Gazing  on a tombstone while touring a landmark cemetery,
I stand motionless before an inscription cut deep into the cold marble.

JOHN LOOK     1863-1919   
BELOVED HUSBAND AND FATHER
SARAH LOOK  1870-1918
BELOVED WIFE AND MOTHER

DEAREST CHILDREN

JACK              1891-1892
ANA               1893-1896
TOM               1895-1918 KILLED IN ACTION IN FRANCE
SEAN             1896-1899
MARY            1897-1900

I write no poetry here.
It's been hard for me to learn how to write nothing when everything is already written.
