Whipporwill and a Daffodill

Whippoorwill and a Daffodil Found fragrant flowers I will lay upon Grave of wife who recently had gone To heaven where she is waiting for me Who one day soon again I shall see. Flowers were to be a gift for her I put on grave which was obscure Behind tall trees where lilacs grew And red roses which there were a few. All this many memories back would bring Of the one I still love more than anything Now there were not any thrills anymore Meant so much to me and did adore. Time I decided to take and devote And tend her grave which rather remote Heard a whippoorwill and felt one last thrill When I did seen a new blooming daffodil. James Thomas Horn Retired Veteran
