Star Spangled Skies

She misses him, his earthly ways,
Pruning his roses with his expert eyes,
Then night would fall
As he would watch star spangled skies
In a wise way, dismissing the lies
Of a shallow world that will fall
Where money, greed grows wild as weeds,
Her man loved his land and doing good deeds,
He spoke softly with an enquiring mind that sowed original seeds,
Tea drinking was a must for celebration or mourning,
She misses his blunt talk and his all engaging love
For her that reached star spangled skies adorning,
Over the vast dark bog with twinkling stars above,
Her man dies
Everyday he looks at her without hope or recognition
Only confusion from Alzheimer's ammunition,
The gun has been loaded
Her man dies every day
As she watches for a sign of his earthly ways,
His unique wisdom and he was solid and strong,
He never did anything wrong,
Oh why is he gone
As she goes out to their back garden neat and long
She looks up at star spangled skies
And she cries,
For the loss of a gentle man.
This greedy world she defies,
To have known such a man of kindness and love,
All that is left is his shining star spangled skies above!
