ODE TO DON

I just buried my husband

In the green

On the hill.

He died suddenly last month,

Not unexpectedly, but still ...

Gently, I helped him into his next journey.

Bringing heart and soul with me

We bid adieu.

For more than two score he brightened my days,

Now he lights up my nights,

Everyone's nights.

There, to show him the way,

To show us the way,

Are millenia of stars before him.

Can you see him?

He's the one that winks!
