Another June

Another June ... Underneath the same sun, Much like the last forty And now its forty-one Forty-one long years ... Below the same sky, The finches are still here And somehow, so am I To see the zinnia Come into full bloom, To see the sunset Longer does it loom To hang wet laundry Flapping in the breeze, Where goes a bumble bee Buzzing 'round my knees Another June ... Come and gone so slow, Still, I am not sad ... To see her finally go.
