Millicent My Lady Darling Dear

Millicent 
My Lady Darling Dear.
Lionel Derbyshire

I could not say goodbye
I did not want to ..
There will be no more
Hello dear's ..
My lady darling dear.

A pale winter morning in May
Came passing by
To lift you higher
At GOD' s real moment.
You were bold and alone
I was hurt and broken.
My tender fawn had to go
I do not mean the colour beige.
I mean my 
Darling Dear Millicent ..

My Lady Darling Dear.
WIth your stroke and tuck
You made sure i am clean 
From ear to toe.
My skilled and clever 
Lady Darling Dear 
You were my bell
That rang throughout the house.
A house you made a home.
Your hand's knitted
Perfect beanies 
For me to wear 
To warm my head.
Your new biscuit recipe's.
Kept me yummy full 

My Lady Darling Dear.
You supermom !
To your son
You made him 10 men.
A super gran you got 
Lexi her first chair.

You truly are my love ..
My first big prize in life
That fabulous win for me
Was the size of 
My big blue sea.
Like a rose
Fresh you are.
With sweet lavenders 
Right on time
Your scent
I knew everywhere
And the love of my 
Lady great
I felt everytime.

My Lady Darling Dear.
Day's come and days go
Hours are dry..
I look to the empty sky
To faithfull you
And my love multiply's
For you.

My Lady Darling Dear.
If only yesterday
can be today ..
To hear once more ..
Your call
To run to you
And say
" Hello Dear .. "

There is only
Thoughts now ..
and Love 
You never
Said goodbye
Where you left me.
You only said
" I love you "
