For the 29 souls lost

The church bells rang 29 times so we knew it was final and the end of the line. Now 29 miners are at heavens gate with coal silt dirty faces asking is it 2 late? When god replies with half a grin no my children come on in. They place their mining lights gently on heavens floor when ...god said "job well done" leave your boots at the door. In memory of the 29 miners that died at Pike River Mine
