The blue of your eyes <br />Faded without the <br />Contrast of the jet <br />Black hair you once had <br />Is still bluer than <br />Any I’ve seen since <br /> <br />Your gentle caress <br />As warm and loving <br />As ever it was <br />Kisses still honey sweet <br />Your embrace safe and <br />Strong as the first night <br /> <br />The scars from the tree <br />Inconsequential <br />Where the tumor was <br />Imperceptible <br />The recent loss of <br />Your leg unimportant <br /> <br />Your spirit shines bright <br />Even more so now <br />As you tell me you <br />Play the hand you’re dealt <br />And we rejoice in <br />Being and loving <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><i>© Alice Vedral Rivera - 2006</i><br /><br />Alice Vedral Rivera<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/long-awaited-reunion/
