FOR BASIL
Stop the clocks
Cover the mirrors
A loving heart has stopped.
Life is so fleeting!
How long seem those childhood days
We played and sang
Felt the suns peppery rays.
Walking the blacktop
Our words dropping like pebbles
into a pond.
We wandered a ways on sweet
Summer days. The nectar of
Life our young heart assuaged.
The paths of our lives though
Rutted and scarred gave bloom
To flowers that sweetened the
The hours.
You were my "bestie"
No matter the trouble
I could turn to you
An ear for my sorrow
A cure for my blues.
Now our time together is done.
You have walked into the final
Day's Sun.
I'll love and miss you in so many
Ways.
I'll never forget our childhood days.
