I GUESS<\/p>\n
I guess<\/p>\n
Time passes for us all<\/p>\n
and one has<\/p>\n
to sit alone and sip<\/p>\n
that cup of coffee<\/p>\n
remembering<\/p>\n
bits here and there<\/p>\n
of younger days<\/p>\n
and seasons<\/p>\n
When coffee and caring<\/p>\n
happened more often.<\/p>\n
The caring<\/p>\n
still there I know<\/p>\n
But now I sit alone<\/p>\n
and sip the coffee<\/p>\n
trying to remember.<\/p>\n
The gladioli remain<\/p>\n
fresh as yesterday<\/p>\n
their fragrance<\/p>\n
reminding me<\/p>\n
that I am not alone.<\/p>\n
They come now and then,<\/p>\n
the reassurances-<\/p>\n
phone calls<\/p>\n
strange names<\/p>\n
surprise visits<\/p>\n
twinkling eyes<\/p>\n
a new mischief<\/p>\n
a hug that says<\/p>\n
\u201cI am still there<\/p>\n
I care\u201d<\/p>\n
The flowers bloom<\/p>\n
inside my room<\/p>\n
The coffee<\/p>\n
a bit sweeter now<\/p>\n
for your having come by again.<\/p>\n
