For Melanie, from Chaz

I miss you dearly

My heart is sad & lonely

I await your return quietly

The roses & the lilies

Sit quietly for you waiting

For you to bloom for you

When you arrive

In the morning

The delphiniums & hostas

Are ready to burst with flower

On the night of your return

On the night you are home

I know I haven't always been right

For you and I know life could have

Been different with some prince with

Lots of money and a big boat

Floating on the waves

I am back to working hard to make

That boat with me as the prince

But until then I sit alone tonight and

Do my best to remember the sound of

Your voice and remember the quirk

Of your smile and

Remember the last time I saw you

For Melanie, from Charles
