A Poem For You - Jacky


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.
