One Rose of Red
Crystal tears of snow from heaven fell
Lightly
kissing the solitary rose of red
Why this season only the seasons know
So late why… just this one rose of red…
Trying
desperately to become an exquisite bloom
The edges of the petals turning dark and curled
Not as beautiful as it was
in the fall of last year
Only two petals opened; one on each side
Like angel wings as if trying to fly
The sun came
out as the clouds did clear
The melting crystal tears of snow… like tears
Off each wing did fall
Till no tears
were left to fall
Then to slowly die
A petal at a time
Drifting to the ground
Of a broken heart

“My love to you and your family
with tears
in my heart”

For Terry 1962~1999
Some
blue skied day
In the brightness of the sun
I`ll let you go,daughter dear
But this day is not the one
I see your face ,I feel
you near
Singing in the wind
Your voice I hear
Child of my heart
I find it so hard to part
But......
Someday your ashes I`ll scatter
Among the mountains
That you loved
Someday it won`t matter
Some day
I will have it resolved
Someday I will see
You can`t be left behind
Or apart from me
Someday I will understand
You
will always be with me
Singing there still
In the mazes of my mind
I won`t be left alone
For your song goes on
Faye Sizemore 2/13/2003
Sweet
Recall
A few notes of music on the wind
Muted strains of an old song
so welcome in my world again
Scents
of flowers drift faintly
Visions of the dearest faces,
looking antiqued and quaintly,
filling their vacated spaces
Memories from long ago times
aged like the finest of wines
Old voices are heard calling again
as the memories
come drifting in
Even Mother and Father, so dear,
I can almost glimpse you here
Almost touch your hands with
mine
reaching back through the pages of time
Memories are magical treasure chests,
and opened, can summon
loved ones
back home ,at will,through the mists
