I'll Miss You...

Little Dear One,

With those blue eyes that possessed the enchanted color splashes of wildflowers. I'm sure you're cuddling with the angels now and I'll bet the grass really is greener. Did you greet my friends for me, and some of my family, long gone? I'm sure they recognized you, you've got the big saucer eyes and the whimsy to prove you one of us. I'll see you someday little fella. Save some dandelion sprigs for me, then we'll share them like we used to.

Affectionately yours,

Flower Girl

Collecting Things...

"Why do you collect things?" he asked, "It is because it reminds me of the era's long passed, ones I should be too young to miss..." she replied.

Potato Fritters: Just like mum used to make...

Golden-brown and oh so crispy

pleasant, warm when weather's nippy

Sizzling, fragrant in cast iron pans,

I watch how the fritters dance.

Just like mum used to create;

reminds me of the good olde days.

Message In A Bottle

Through blustering wind,

and weathers throttle,

secured stays,

your message bottle.

So daringly cute,

I do declare,

an inch sized message,

for one to wear.

Candlelight Vigil

A solemn candle to honor those, lost to our world.

Notes on my door, remember and never forget.

Letter Writing

To write a letter from the heart,

to a dear friend whilst apart,

a gesture ever-kind and true,

and oh so lovely through and through.

Like sunbeams in the break of day,

or a summer afternoon,

like teatime 'fore the sun goes down,

and petals lit by m0on.

Like reading books by candlelight,

and willow's by the blue,

all these things I want to share,

in what I've sent to you.

But the parcel's own content,

differs quite from these:

A mystery gift, a tin of mints

and lotion from Burt’s Bees.

A fashion cut-out, stickers too,

A pink snake, a ring for Sue,

a letter etched in written art,

here’s your gift from my heart!
