After You...

Yesterday and today's beauty beg for a Dear Lucy bit o' poem... Dear Lucy💔💖 How bittersweet to sit at your kitchen tablewithout you bustling about,pouring tea and serving far more food than one could possibly eat!!But, seeing you in your daughtersweetened the bitter ache of missing you so... Lucy's kitchen window yesterday,like a framed work of God-art! Dear Lucy There will still be love and laughterTime will still fling wide dawn's doorBut death leaves life, ever afterNever like it was before There will still be hills/thrills and hollowsMuch to chase and much to chooseBut no matter what still followsNo one will quite fill your shoes There will still be dreams and dancesAcross Mercy's ballroom floorBut a lifetime of fresh chancesCannot grant what was before There will still be grace-bent gladnessMemories, precious and newBut, not without pangs of sadnessThat death left in place of you There will still be love and laughterHopes to seize and joys to claimBut no matter what comes afterNothing will be quite the same Love always,Janet View from your driveway...
