i thought
i could forget you
as the long, long,
Winter shadows
watch the budding
of the trees
but this Spring
i heard your name
called out again
and when i turned
it was but wind
which touched the trees
and made some flowers fall
like all those tears
that once were shed
when Winter had its hold
now flowers and tears
are in memory adrift,
an image i’ll always keep
to frame you in Spring
for there is so much beauty
even in just remembering,
somehow i now accept
a moment shared
in happiness with you
is worth a lifetime
in tears
