THOUGHTS OF YOU

The leaves rustling in the wind
I can feel the soft cool breeze
Remembering your smiling face
As I stand beneath the trees.

The faint scent of your perfume
The bright sunlight glistening 
I strain to hear you speak to me
Now a mere soft whispering.

Angels from the sky above
Accompanying you in flight
As the  butterflies and sparrows
Appear at dawn’s new light.

The animals in the barnyard
The dogs, the cats and lambs
Remembering my walks with you
So  glorious …. so grand.

Sharing family memories
Childhood days of old
Hanging on to every word
Every story I was told. 

I cherish times …. so sacred
Beneath this sky of blue
Reminded of those gentle days
I treasure my thoughts of you.
