I Saw You Last Night

Today you’re gone
You came to say goodbye
You sat at my bedside
I was happy you remembered me
The moment was fleeting
But it warmed my heart
To see you once more
To hear your voice
To know you knew I cared
I should not dwell on the sadness
But happy for where you are
You’re not gone
In the hearts of those who love you
I shed my tears
For the regrets I held
With your permission
I will let them go
Because I love you so
Always I will love you so

Crying Heart

With a heavy heart
I cry out inside
I understand the cycle
But why does it have to be now?
I was still waiting for a trip
For the two of us
We’ll visit Russia
And all the places you wish to see
I appreciate the moments
I had with you in May
I didn’t want it to be the last time
We were together
I didn’t expect your leaving

To come so soon

I’ll carry a wound in my heart

In my heart you forever will be

My World You Stay

You look so peaceful in your sleep
Must have angels at your feet
I hope sweet dreams never cease
Feelings of calmness never leave

Each passing day I think of you
You’re never alone that much is true
I wish I were nearer to you
My heart rejoices whenever I get to see you

I miss all the moments together we had
Whenever I do not get to see you
Though we live a few thousand miles apart
My love for you will not fade as time marches

I will remember your words and your thoughts
I will cherish your smiles and your laughs
I will keep your love and your touch
In my heart forever – In my world you stay

Summertime

I said I’ll see you later
She said Stay a while longer
So we sat
On the bench outside the Fellowship House
She recited poems
I talked of past and future events
And answered the same questions
Countless times
It was fine
It was a nice summer day
We enjoyed the sunshine
Hoping for a vitamin D supply
The breeze blew gentle air
On our faces
I could see
The happiness in her eyes
I said I’ll share our picture
She smiled

Together Again

It’s hard to be magical
When the heat is high
The crowd is large
And the virus protection is not in place
Yet magic happened
Because you were there
We had a swell time
Being together – Together again

A Garden Stroll

On the last morning of spring
Through a stroll in the garden
I smelled the flowers’ fragrance
And saw them glisten
Winged creatures flitting
From one bloom to the next
The deer came to watch
The turtles slowed down
The birds sang their songs
And soft dew lingered 
My heart satisfied
My feet skipped along
I’ll bring my sweetheart
With me before long

Collage 58

I want to be a dragon
And if I can’t I want a wish dragon
To grant my wishes true
I want to scuba dive
And be a marine biologist
I’ll learn about sea animals
While watching them play
That would be a perfect day
When I’m in a submarine
Being a marine biologist
With my wish dragon by my side

I too want to be a marine biologist
But first I want to learn my S’s and L’s
I want to celebrate Milli’s Day
In addition to Mother’s and Father’s Days
I’ll eat phở all day
Then end with macaron and ice cream
It’d be swell if the ice cream be Blue Bell
I’d pick cherry and coffee and rocky road
I’ll have it with jelly juice
I’ll be in the same submarine
My brother and his wish dragon are in

Together we’ll explore
The world beyond our dreams
