a loving companion
sharing long hikes
in the forest, hunting
for frogs in the bogs,
and teaching two
little girls . . .

On a summer breeze
A velvet rose petal
gently took flight and
flew up to the heavens
and found a home
in the hands of
Her Creator.
Looking down, he
smiled at the petal
and whispered, . . .
