Notes About The Poem

bench installed in memory of my beloved husband E. Dennis Wicks 1950-2020

Listen to poem:

Do You Not Recognize Me

come sit with me a while, my darling
beneath this apple tree

come sit with me, my sweetheart
do you not recognize me

come sit and keep me company, my love
i’ll welcome you every season of the year

come sit with me, my precious
i’ll listen as you pour your heart to me
