old friend.

To ken

 

Ok I know, it has been months
but I came to see you today
I cried at bit when I saw
the place where you now lay
Its nice to see that you were sleeping
a bench was put near your arms
Its still out here rather muddy
but its not causing you any harm
There's ferns growing up in the clearing
lords and ladies grow here by your side
Its beautiful in the woods now
I am sure you would agree with pride
Your Lyn sat with us on the new bench
and watched as the birds came to see
the ground is quite clear of the brambles
with insects and worms there for free.
Lyn has nicked that old bath from the birdies
and laid it down there, just near your head
She has put in those nice little crystals
colours bright from white, black, pink and red.
I will see you again in a few weeks
got an offering or two for your long sleeps.
I promise its not leant for a short time
These items for you are for keeps.
