LILAC AND
ROSES
I tossed lilac lightly
on the stream,
a message fragrant
purple, clean,
and the morning sun
broke free and rose
above the grey clouds
upon my face,
as I watched it slip
downstream,
so silently impatient to
leave this place
of mourning, death and
roses
Lilac from the old house
mum
and daisies pretty
pink,
and wondered what you
now would think
could you see my lilac
slip downstream
as your life slipped
into eternity
and wondered how life
might have been,
had you once loved me
as you loved your
roses,
I hope you're now at
peace mum,
and find your heart and
soul
in a garden in an
afterlife
with sweet lilac and a
pool,
red roses and a white
peace dove,
and know how you were
always loved
by both myself and
little ruth
much more than ever you
could love
for you were loved in
truth.
