MOUNT MUNCIE ON DECORATION DAY
BY LINDA G. SMITH
Nestled high upon a hill
Lies Mount Muncie standing still
Sacred place, a special place
For loved ones who’ve gone in.
Some are nameless
Some are not
In someone’s heart
Who has not forgot.
So many graves
Sprouting with flowers on
This Decoration Day.
Mount Muncie
Mount Muncie started
By the Cemetery Association
Black church men leading out
We thank you without a doubt
Somebody’s mama and somebody’s daddy
Are buried there.
As I look towards potters’ field
No markers just few flowers there
These folks died alone
Some far away from home
No family there to show how they cared
About them so
But the folks at Mount Muncie
Stood for them, cared and buried them.
Mount Muncie

Black church men leading out
We thank you without a doubt
Somebody’s mama and somebody’s daddy
Are buried there.
