For My Sister Jacky
On Her Birthday
The roses have bloomed in vibrance,
Were you there among them?
I thought it a day of resplendence,
A showered day that drizzled
drops of translucence,
On petals
flowered in beauty
and perfection.
Your presence I felt among them.
Isn't it as they say,
An angel would have passed these gardens,
On a day beholden
to thy name.
Have a lovely birthday in heaven, Jacky.
I miss you.
