Mists of Autumn
Sitting at my desk
I look out across the scene,
The empty seat, the mists that rise
And I wonder what they mean.
I see her sitting there
And yet I know it cannot be.
For many years have gone
Since she walked with me.
I feel her tender touch
As she would take my hand and walk,
Sometimes in quiet solitude
And yet at times we would walk.
I look again and see her leaving
But she was never in this place,
She turns and smiles at me
I remember her lovely face.
Seasons come and seasons go
The mists rise and fall,
Yet she visits me so often
Such memories I recall.
Tis only in this season
When autumn chills the air
That she makes her presence felt,
And shows her tender care.
It is my favourite season
And I know she loved it too,
So we share a rendezvous,
In the mists and in the dew.
She was special in my life
And loved me like no other,
I am proud to see her in the mist ~
My precious, much loved Grandmother.
