(Dedicated to the unknown gardener) <br /> <br />One hand on my heart and the other raised to bid farewell. <br />Let this sight of him not be the last and this parting brief. <br />Forsooth, without him life is commonplace, curiosity begs to <br />know what advancement has he made without me. <br /> <br />Alas, his aspirations and mine have they made headway? <br />We are parted, each in liaisons. <br />Our peace taken away, my tears flow making an ocean that he <br />will sail upon. <br /> <br />I watch for a returning ship.<br /><br />Love love love Rachel Ann Butler<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/valedictory/
