For Doreen - Haiku

ribbons of stardust
follow you leaving this life
sparkles in our hearts

colourful garden
planted over septic tank
scarlet geraniums

subtle hands entwined
62 years of love knots
one hand now alone

divine Christmas treats
baked with loving caring hands
shelf holds empty tins

your serene smiling face
welcoming friends and family
will forever remain


Doreen
1925 - 2012

Wonderful tribute. Beautifully expresses the emptiness she leaves behind.

She was a dear friend, like a mother to me Tiger and Doreen will be missed. Thank you for your kindness
