Sitting on a park bench in her favorite blue dress
Birds chirp songs of happiness
The sun is shining on this crystal clear day
Children laugh as they skip and play
Neighbors are out walking
Smiling and talking
Avoiding her eyes as though they’ll catch it, too
She sits hopelessly waiting, what else is there to do?
No one stops to ask nor will she say
But everything is dark on this sun-shiny day
She stands and straightens her dress with a tear
Knowing God needs her angel more than she needed him here
She walks over to the spot where they wed
The place where he said, “I’ll never leave you” then kissed her head
She knows she needs to be brave
She takes a deep breath and places the rose on his grave
