Lost Love

Her heart was Heavy as she gazed into the starry Sky,

Longing to hear the Warm Voice of her lost love.

Wandering back into the lonely house,

Evelyn cried aloud, “Together forever was not enough!”

Daniel had passed much too Young.

He was Caught in the in-between,

Wishing he could give her the Gift of Knowing

He would always be there; she need not be Afraid.

Her sparkling Laugh gone,

He yearned to give her sunshine

To replace the thick night.

As she packed boxes, moving from

The life they would Build together.

Evelyn embraced a Clown fish,

A Prize Daniel had won at the fair,

They had smiled, kissed, and then said, “Cheese,”

In the photo booth-- four tiny, precious photos their reward.

Next, they rode a trusty steed--a carousel Horse.

A slight smile tugged at her mouth as she remembered

That day of shopping in the village.

At dinner, he asked her to hold a piece of string,

As she did, a diamond ring slid like Butter

down the string as Daniel proposed.

As she smiled tearily at the memory,

She thought she could hear Daniel's voice

proclaiming his love to her one final time.
