Her Love Lies Low

Her love lies low in cold, cold ground
for lo these many years.
The green grass growing on his grave
is watered with her tears.
Lovingly crafted notes unmailed
are filling up her drawer;
she half expects to hear his step
once more at her front door.

To her dimmed eyes, the old mirror
reflects the yesterdays;
deep in its depth she finds him and
leans to his arms and stays.
They find her there and wonder at
the smile upon her face;
while still fading from the mirror,
the other time and place.

OhJoyce~
You went deep into your heart for this poignant beauty~
Just may be my all time favorite of yours (so far)~

This speaks of such soft, soft memories~
Trust me ... this is just sooooooooo LOVELY~

Joyce...How lovely..memories are so precious. Hugs, Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
