Our Maytime Queen

 Our Maytime Queen

She swam her path at the edge of seventeen 
        inviting us to her birthday party 
        in warm greetings and pledge
Of her day of joy 
        She never laughed out loud
        without her league of toys
Although Mayrence knows 
         she was a Maytime Queen 
         until her candle wishes need to blow .
As now I don't belong to her world
           But she reminds me of her words 
          And the humor of her presence.
The friendship we made 
          was not of her laughter 
          But growing up with her golden hour.
