You would have
Liked today
The garden soaked
Sunlight at play
The roses you loved
Have opened and smiled
You are in my thoughts
Vibrant yet calm.
The sound of birdsong
Cheerful and light
Upon warming breeze
Cascading and bright
The chair where you sat
Still awaits your return
Idle and longing
Its heartbeat to yearn.
Yes the roses are wild
Now having opened their eyes
To the beginning of Summer
Their colours beguile
As if to hold out
The memories of you
To embrace and protect
Beneath a sky so blue.
