Better
You were the better one.
You made me better than I was,
But you were always better.
I got to go live by the beach,
But you got to go live in Heaven.
I miss you, better friend.
Blue
I sent you a stuffed bunny,
pink suede gloves, and
lemon ginger tea last fall.
You gave me a beautifully
illustrated devotional and
lemon ginger cookies.
I can hear your voice
like water, laughing
softly with love.
You always kept your kids'
art projects displayed—
that funny ceramic pig.
You, like a kite in the clouds
against a blue sky
on the best of days.
Freedom
You understood small
Pleasures so well, like a cat
On your lap (or dog),
Your patio chair,
Hostas, chirping hopping birds,
A few friends gathered,
Contentment by choice—
One of your superpowers;
Coffee, cookies, smiles.
