Summer Face

A mid-May image (and post) now replaced with 'summer face' I thought an explanation might be good
Summer Face (but no official title as yet) *
 
For all I know you’re already up in heaven.
You always brought heaven with you,
In your smile – kindness such a way
It might as well be a thoroughfare.
You are missed, will be missed
But it seems like it is time to go.
I hope to meet you elsewhere
Up in the clouds although
Somehow I picture you in
A garden – you have such
A flowering way—gentle.
And all the ways I go
Are somehow tempered
By you, by knowing you
And thinking, what would
you do because the Jesus
Is in you and I find it
Solace just knowing you
Whether you’re here
In the flesh or not
Although leaning down to
Hug your tiny self
Is something I will not do
I still will nearly everyday
Think of you
Lots of love
(I say that to my kids so why not you)
Safe travels, by the way
I dropped off some flowers although
the ones outside your porch are sweeter still.
I left them in a paper bouquet and
had the feeling you were already in the air – lifting up
and taking off like a dear bumble bee.

​--C. Desirée Finley 

*apologies for this sentimental poem but I cannot help it today

    Opinionated, wry, sometimes corny, observational humor mostly about writing, but you never know.
