Simple Words
by
Suzanne Tyson
A single
rose on my door step. A simple note signed love
you.
Years dwindled, and I lingered, as a young girl
again, the older
version of myself fading away with the sight and
scent of its petals.
The simple gesture immeasurable to me, freeing me
for one brief moment.
Always amazing me! Raising my soul to my heart, you
come to me
As a lover! As a friend despite the many years
we’ve shared. Memories
unfolding and overwhelming my senses. Memories of
youth and truth
love and respect. Some brightly lit. Some dim, but
always with love.
We shared the trials of God’s testing of faith. Two
souls as one.
Moving, losing, gaining. Boring routines. Right
then wrong.
Wrong then right, but always with simple words.
Simple ways. Simple days.
Bills and problems and children to raise.
Living high, then living low. Up and down with the
flow of life,
I wondered where and why and how
we kept on going. But we did.
With simple words.
With sweet, simple words of love.
