T'was just a garden in the rain. Close to a little leafy lane. A touch of color 'neath skies of gray. The raindrops kissed the flowerbeds. The blossoms raised their thirsty heads. A perfumed thank you. They seemed to say. Surely here was charm beyond compare to view. Maybe it was just that I was there with you. T'was just a garden in the rain. But then the sun came out again. And sent us happily on our way.

your green cardigan

the quilt you sewn for us
your delicious food
your gentle heart
the pat of your hand that puts me to sleep
sleeping next to you
your lipton tea my green tea
a wrapper of the sweet you searched high and low
for me the day before you left.
the necklace you wore on your wedding day
i will wear as i walk down the aisle
