Fresh Air

Open door to fresh breath of air
It seems to me you are still here
The sun rises with rays so bright
A spider’s web made overnight
Glistens in the morning light

Roses shine with morning dew
The outside world reminds of you
The Baby Tears look just right
Snuggled by the long brick walk
Oh how I wish that we could talk.

Listen, hear the Cardinal’s call
See Blue Jays showing off their all
As they perch by edge of waters fall
The days beginning once again
And you are still with me my friend

The Blue Plumbago blooms with ease
The ants still march their ever tease
And Violets appear in clumps
And oh how I remember still
The day I stepped on that ant hill

You looked up and with a glance
Saw me jumping an odd dance
As much pain as I was in
I managed to sport a silly grin
As I watched you hold your laughter in.

An exquisite, poignant series of memorable snapshots that will remain in my mind long after I have pressed the Submit button, Martyjo, and a tribute to the beauty of your marriage and of you both!  Thank you.
