Cotton candy amidst the blue Warm sun and breezes too A flowered field in meadow vast Children’s laughter from afar Catching butterflies in a jar A comedy in midsummer’s cast
You stand beside me in my dream Pale pink lips, skin like cream Your yellow hair in captured sunlight I wish I could kiss you now Brush the loose strand from your brow And retrieve you from the eternal night
I know this is make believe For even now I grieve Your passing was sudden swift I have these moments of recall Life was shattered last fall My balance made a tragic shift
If ever there were afterlife I’d ask you again to be my wife But my gut tells me we were happenstance All subject to toil and strife With precious moments of happy life Should be grateful for the chance
