Memories and Prayers

I came here to your grave to pray.
No flowers could I bring today.
Upon your stone, a handprint though,
I left behind,so you would know
I brought my memories to share.
I almost saw you standing there,
Your face alight with welcome smile.
I stood and daydreamed for awhile
And when I turned away at last,
My thoughts still dwelling in the past,
A breeze brought rose scent and the sound
Of wild birds singing, all around!

OhBettyLou~

'My thoughts still dwelling in the past'

You would know that I would know this feeling~

I think of the many times that I've left that 'handprint' ... somehow it feels real to be touching ... touching~

This is lovely, dear~
