An old lady of years walks all alone on tired legs
          with a face so happy . . . 
at last she has found this dreamy place of long past memory.
            Oh, painted daisy,
she recalls gathering bouquets of them
      under a perfect sky
        of a sweet impossible blue . . . 
          listen to that cool stream babbling on the way to somewhere,
the weeping willow still hangs her head over the water 
          and the blue jay is still singing
on an overhanging branch-   a welcome back song.
          Tired, she lays down . . . 
            closing her ancient eyes for the last time
               she smiles, whispering, life has been quite divine.

Congratulations on your 6th place win, Dear Heart, I loved it because it captured such a lovely place in time, but so sad to think the old woman passed away.
