"Morning" © By Mary Beatty
THE LAST HELLO
Morning Sunbeams
Romp through distant trees
Shimmering
Across tranquil waters
To where we sit
At the river's edge.
Side by side
Quietly
Feet plunged
Into the cool water
Our presence hush
The Mourning Doves
A gentle breeze
Caresses the silence
No words
No needs.
I lean toward you
You are here
Strong
Protective
Your arm encircles me
I smile into your eyes
We whisper just one sound
"Hi!"
Harmony
Peacefulness
Warmth
Contentment
Each fully aware
Life is but a vapor.
You are gone from me now
Oh, that it might have been
Only a dream
Our Last Hello.

IF I COULD
IF I COULD
I would
Paint your life Purple
Compliment it with Green
Fill it with Sparkle
The bright hues in between.
IF I COULD
I would
Find the perfect Rose one day
Bless it petal by petal
Scatter to you by Starlight
Along the Milky Way.
IF I COULD
I would
Flood your World with
Happiness,
Contentment
Sprinkle with Moonbeams
Indescribably sweet
Place them gently,
Lovingly at your feet.
IF I COULD
I would
Charm you with Words to
Encourage,
Inspire
Smooth out the rough spots
In your Pathway of Life
Prayerfully reduce your
Frustration and strife.
IF I COULD
I would
Dispense huge chunks of
Faith,
Love
Wrap each with care
Like a Gift from Above
Tie up in fine linen
And though worlds apart
Place at the doorstep of
Your dear hearts!
