Longing
"To Let" - it reads,
The sign on her gate.
Yet, for the ones she loved -
They all still wait.
The wind waits with a bated breath
To blow softly to dry her hair -
The ground awaits her watering-can
Despite the rain that has fallen there.
Her trees still bloom
Yet, long for her touch -
Little garden animals too -
She had loved all so much!
The birds fly in -
Wait, and then go
"When will she come?"
They really don't know.
The brown stray dog -
Lonely, sick and sore
Longs for her caring and love
Though she lives here no more.
