Without You

I bring red roses to your grave oh, how pleasant the scent drifting in the air now, rest in peace love for I am here a bird is singing you a lovely tune and has sent you down a pretty feather and the baby stirs within my womb and I come again when the leaves are withering and the wind is making the trees sigh oh, I sang a sweet lullaby for our baby are you holding our boy in Heaven above and I come again when snow has fallen white and a gust of wind swirls my hair and I come again when all is green and lush and moments have turned to days and months you were always my anchor and safe harbor now, I am alone to find my way without you _________________ June 11, 2021 Poetry/Verse/without you Copyright Protected, ID 06-1362-740-11 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the contest, All Yours (Jun 12) sponsor, Brian Strand, Judged 06/12/2021 First Place

Lovely write, Constance... so sweet and touching. I remember... when I was a teenager I wrote a romantic poem entitled Without You... I still remember. So long ago... God bless you sweet friend. Love, Gina
