A Cemetery of Peace

The most peaceful and serene place for me to go is the Calvary Hill cemetery located in Humble, Texas. I go there to visit my mother’s grave, reflect, and reminisce. As I drive into the cemetery on the long gravel road to the hilltop where my mother’s grave is located, I am greeted by the big beautiful green trees, the rainbow of flowers on the graves, and the calmness of the cemetery. Once I step outside the busy world and into the cemetery world, I feel peace and serenity. There is always a cool breeze in the cemetery regardless of the heated temperatures. Once I park and then take a seat next to my mom’s grave, I begin to feel the wind blow through my hair and I can feel the hands of the cool breeze hug me. It’s almost as if God himself came to comfort me. I can see the wind dancing in the grass and the birds soaring in the air above me. Another added feature to this cemetery is the pretty ducks meticulously moving across the pond. When I close my eyes to soak in all that nature has to offer, the fresh clean air begins to fill my nostrils along with the fresh cut grass that smells like a good ripe watermelon. When I begin to listen to God’s creation, I can hear the birds singing songs of praise. The musical ringing of the wind chimes fill my ears with sweet melodies. As I leave the cemetery, I am more relaxed and ready to conquer all that life has to offer.
