Roses and Ice Cream

Roses and Ice Cream He would bring her roses and ice cream And on warm summer nights they sat huddled Closely, watching silent stars slowly advance Toward morning and waiting to hear the morning bird. Years quickly faded into the great unknown As days flew by and the things of life went on. But love grew melding their spirits into one... One heart One mind One life. There came a day the angels came To take her home ... Freed from the pain And confusion that had dogged her every moment. Peace embraced her and she willingly accepted its gift. Now he thinks of roses and ice cream And watches silent stars slowly wheeling toward dawn. The matins bird greets him as he Starts yet another day filled with memories And longing.
