This Moment – By Elizabeth Dennis
This moment.
I look to see you yet only a
reflection of myself stares
back.
I want to hold you, instead the
windows divide.
I stand before you – feet planted
in the earth and head to the
sky-I-pray.
I pray your will find your secret
garden allowing your spirit to
soar high.
The flowers will never falter.
This beauty will never dim.
May you ease your body on the
wooden swing in your secret
garden-forever at peace.
