Just a Gift of Time

The morning sun seemed brighter today; Oh, yes, because soon you will be on the way. Loneliness will not set in after coffee; My mind is on kindness from you on the way. You will tell me you love me if true to form; Oh, it may be flattery, but does no harm. We will talk of our thoughts and laugh, you and I, Like no other friends, I don’t know why. I will fall in my chair when you go home; Awash with your smiles, but back alone. Your gift of time left a golden paved mile And will warm the days of an old woman for a while.
