Geocache Description:

A Lonely Cemetery

The cache is located two miles south and one mile west of the nearest I-40 access point
which is EXIT 121, and at the intersection of County Roads 6 and C. These roads are not paved but CR 6 is the smoothest. FTF- Amyleigh34 & NinaPar

There is nothing scenic about this area. It is just wide open space dotted with a small cemetery. All but two of the people who have been laid to rest here are babies but I was intrigued and saddened by one family in particular, C.E. and Sallie Boydstun, who lost seven children in a span of nine years. It's hard to imagine what the parents endured and how difficult times were back then.

here is a link to the Boydstun Cemetery page.

I thought of you and closed my eyes,
And prayed to God today.
I asked what makes a Mother,
And I know I heard him say:
A mother has a baby,
This we know is true.
But, God, can you be a mother,
When your baby's not with you?
Yes, you can he replied,
With confidence in his voice.
I give many women babies,
When they leave is not thier choice.
Some I send for a lifetime, And others for a day.
And some I send to feel your womb,
But theres no need to stay.
I just don't understand this God,
I want my baby here.
He took a breath and cleared his throat,
And then I saw a tear.
I wish that I could show you,
What your child is doing today,
If you could see your child smile,
With other children who say:
We go to earth and learn our lessons,
Of love and life and fear.
My mommy loved me oh so much,
I got to come straight here.
I feel so lucky to have a mom,
Who had so much love for me.
I learned my lessons very quickly,
My mommy set me free.
I miss my mommy oh so much,
But I visit her each day.
When she goes to sleep,
On her pillow's where I lay.
I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek,
And whisper in her ear.
"Mommy don't be sad today,
I'm your baby and I'm here."
So you see my dear sweet one,
Your children are Ok.
Your babies are here in My home,
They'll be at heavens gate for you.
So now you see what makes a mother.
It's the feeling in your heart.
It's the love you had so much of,
Right from the very start.
Though some on earth may not realize you are a mother,
until their time is done.
They'll be up here with Me one day,
And you'll know that you're the best one!
