A headstone in the local cemetery (Violett Cemetery), the view and the inscription were so pretty I thought I'd share. It says: Mamie beloved wife of Jack 1879-1912 Warm summer sun Shine kindly here Warm southern wind Blow softly here Green sod above Lie light lie light Good night dear heart Good night good night
You can almost feel Jack's grief in those words. I didn't find his headstone anywhere nearby, so I assume he was buried in a different graveyard, perhaps near children or parents. There is no last name or any other information on Mamie, but I love the testament to their love.
If you look in the background, you can see the Elkhart River as it winds around the cemetery, which is in in a wooded area. It's one of my favorite places in town, it's so very peaceful and full of little critters like squirrels, turtles and even the occasional deer.
I am the owner of this artwork. Please do not use or alter it in any way shape or form without my express permission. To do so is considered stealing and is illegal. This includes using the piece for stock art in your own artwork, as an avatar on this or any other site, or posting the picture elsewhere and claiming it as your own.
Thank you so much, the headstone itself made me cry! People must have thought I was some kind of looney toon, weeping beside a headstone of a person I never even met while taking random pictures around the cemetery...but then again people probably think I'm crazy when I suddenly yank my car off the road to snap a picture of some random sight on the roadside, lol!

DeviantART has partnered with FAIR to help promote equality through The Love Unites Shepard Fairey Equality Project. We're asking deviants to align themselves with this cause and have their work judged by Shepard Fairey himself!
For those who have many watchers, and for those who dont have many, it is hard to know how one retains that interest as well as receive more. This article explores the basics of watchers and how we react to certain situations. Although it does not affect some deviants, and the tips are generally related to common sense, we hope the article is a worthwhile read and that the majority learn something from reading this.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
