To Edward

An asparagus fern for you
You, who faces the sun
If not for the love I have for you
You'd be a forgotten one

And so rosebuds for you
You, who graced the living
Our hopes and dreams were ours
And so, too, the world's misgivings

And who is there who knows me
You answered questions never asked
You strolled and spoke of future strolls
You, who the sun will bask

Inside your world, inside this gate
Rosebuds will fade in time
But an asparagus fern will grow for you
In the sun that was yours and mine
