I Pick Dandelions

swingline

 

 

I pick dandelions

In the early spring

When I think of you

"She loves me . . . "

 

I cut the rose blooms

In the summer morn

And I am pricked

By the remembrance of you

 

I walk in the autumn golds

As I shuffle with the agony

Of the memory

Yes I do

 

Now in my winter's demise

I wrap the cloth of your smile

Around the cold heart's desire

That I once had for you

 

There will be no dandelions

This spring

No roses this summer

No leaves with autumn's colors

Without the smile of you
