A colon's true usage is to "note what follows" when not using it to designate a list of some kind. With that in mind, I am comfortable w/its placement after Lost. This writing is too short for you to make such an error and you wanted it there.
I often look at dates, names, and such while walking in old cemeteries (what I glean from "children's remains" plural). I also had a sister die in her youth a million years ago. The poem is perfect for me, as is.
The capital on Lost seems odd to me, but again, you wanted it there so there it is. Look at what's been generated by six words, five grammatical symbols, and no end mark.
Thanks for posting it.
