Subject(s): Memory
Today I came across your letters, tied
Into a packet, with a bit of blue
And faded ribbon. Years ago you died,
But at the sight, my memories review
The days when you and I were young. Your smile,
Your look, my dear, and all the tender ways
You had to tell your love, return the while
I lived again the joy of long lost days.
I put the letters back, and hide the key,
My memories are laid away once more.
I try to bring your face again to me,
But bolt and lock have closed the open door.
Blue skies with birds and buds of Spring are here,
But how I miss you, oh, my dear, my dear.
